बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

458 बृहत्संहितायाम् [LIII. 124-125, LIV. 1-2. if a red one, a blood-sucker ; if a green-gram-like one, a stone ; and if a tawny one, a rat ; and if a sword-like one, water. धान्यगोगुरुहुताशसुराणां न स्वपेदुपरि नाप्यनुवंशम् । नोत्तरापरशिरा न च नग्नो नैव चार्द्रचरणः श्रियमिच्छन् ॥१२४॥ Sloka 124.—One wishing for prosperity ought not to sleep above grains, cows, elders, fire and deitics ; nor along the diagonals, nor with the head turned towards the north or west, nor naked, nor with wet feet भूरिपुष्पविकरं सतोरणं तोयपूर्णकलशोपशोभितम् । धूपगन्धबलिपूजितामरं ब्राह्मणध्वनियुतं विशेद् गृहम् ॥१२५॥ Sloka 125.—One ought to enter a house which is strewn with an abundance of flowers, decked with arches, embellished with pots filled with water, where the deities are worshipped with incense, perfumes and oblations and which is reverberating with the sound of Brahmins chanting Vedas. By the word अमर is meant the Gods inside the वास्तु aud not those that are situated in the outer compartments. Thus ends the 53rd Adhyaya on 'House-building'. दकार्गलम् ॥५४॥ On the Exploration of Water Springs धर्म्यं यशस्यं च वदाम्यतोऽहं दकार्गल येन जलोपलब्धिः । पुंसां यथाङ्गेषु शिरास्तथैव क्षितावपि प्रोन्नतनिम्नसंस्थाः ॥१॥ एकेन वर्णेन रसेन चाम्भश्च्युतं नभस्तो वसुधाविशेषात् । नानारसत्वं बहुवर्णतां च गतं परीक्ष्यं क्षितितुल्यमेव ॥२॥
