Now, regarding the four directions and the stars to be avoided:

As follows: Jyeshtha the 18th lunar mansion must be avoided when traveling to the East. Purvashadha the 20th lunar mansion must be avoided when traveling to the South. Rohini the 4th lunar mansion must be avoided when traveling to the West. Uttaraphalguni the 12th lunar mansion must be avoided when traveling to the North. One should not go East on the days of the Wind likely referring to specific lunar days or wind-related asterisms. In the direction of the Fire Southeast, not one should go when the Sun Martanda is in the face of the journey. One who travels toward the direction of Varuna West or the direction of the North during the time of the cruel ones malefic planets or inauspicious times, or when the Moon is in an unfavorable position, will find no joy. On the sixth lunar day, if the mountains are seen, only those born under favorable signs will find the journey auspicious. ॥ 76 ॥

Now, the purification of the days and the location of the Yogini are described:

One should not travel East on Saturdays or Mondays. One should not travel South on Sundays or Fridays. One should not travel West on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. One should not travel North on Thursdays.

Furthermore, the position of the Yogini a directional goddess whose presence prohibits travel in her direction is as follows:

On the 1st and 9th lunar days Tithi: East.
On the 3rd and 11th: Southeast Agneya.
On the 5th and 13th: South.
On the 4th and 12th: Southwest Nairitya.
On the 6th and 14th: West.
On the 7th and the Full Moon Purnima: Northwest Vayavya.
On the 2nd and 10th: North.
On the 8th and the New Moon Amavasya: Northeast Eishanya.

The Directional Spike Dikshula

On Saturdays and Mondays, the "spike" a dangerous astrological influence is in the East; the wise should not cross it. On Thursdays, one should not travel toward the North. On Sundays and Fridays, one should not go toward the West. However, travel is considered successful in all directions under the influence of the stars Anuradha, Ashwini, Hasta, and Pushya, as these are sanctioned by the Guru Jupiter of the gods. ॥ 87 ॥

The seven stars beginning with Krittika rule the East. The stars beginning with Ashwini the text here categorizes stars by direction rule the North. The seven stars beginning with Magha rule the South. The seven stars beginning with Anuradha rule the West. One should not cross the "circular line" Parigha in the Northwest. One should not travel North or South when these directional barriers are active. However, travel remains excellent in any direction during the influence of Anuradha, Ashwini, Hasta, and Pushya. Journeys are not auspicious when involving the "mixed" or "sharp" stars, nor when the zodiac signs are unfavorable.

One should not cross the path when the Sun is in the middle portion of the day. One should be alert to the sounds and omens. ॥ 88 ॥ Divide the duration of the day into three parts: in the first part, travel should not be undertaken during "Fixed" or "Mixed" stars. In the middle part, travel should not be undertaken during "Sharp" Tikshna stars. In the third part, it should not be undertaken during "Swift" Laghu stars. Similarly, divide the duration of the night into three parts: in the first part, one should not travel during "Soft" Mridu stars. In the middle part, do not travel during "Fierce" Ugra stars. However, during the third part of the night, one may always travel during the stars Hasta, Shravana, and Pushya.

Auspicious and Inauspicious Directions

One should not travel in the direction of the planetary lords when they are ill-placed. On the day of the Moon Monday or when the Moon is in the sign of Pisces, one should not go South. When Venus is in a favorable position, travel is permitted. ॥ 89 ॥

The lords of the directions starting from the East are, in order: The Sun, Venus, Mars, Rahu the North Node, Saturn, the Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter. One must know these. Travel should not be undertaken in the direction of a planet when it is in the "Lalata" literally "on the forehead," meaning the planet is directly opposing the traveler's path. Specifically, on Wednesdays, during the Abhijit Muhurta an auspicious midday period, one should not travel South when the five-star period of Dhanishtha Panchaka is active.

When the Sun is in the Ascendant Lagna, it is called "Lalata-Rudra" Rudra on the forehead for the East. Similarly, when the sign in the 7th house is in the Ascendant, one should not travel Northwest. When Mars is in the 10th house, one should not go South. When Mercury is in the 3rd house, one should not go North. When Jupiter is in the 2nd house, one should not go Northeast. When Venus is in the 1st, 11th, or 12th house...
