वास्तु मण्डन (मण्डन सूत्रधार - गृह, राजप्रासाद, दुर्ग एवं नगर-वास्तु सटीक)

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 71 43. If Āya and Vyaya are the same it is known as Piśāca and if it (Vyaya) is more than Āya it is known as Rākṣasa. The variety of Vyaya designated as Cintātmaka is to be discarded among eight types of āya. 44. The eight types of Vyaya are Śānta, Paura, Pradyota, Śriyānanda, Manohara, Śrīvatsa, Vibhava and Chintātmaka. 45. Śānta in Dhvaja is always beneficial in a house. There will be enjoy- ment prayer oblation, dance, song and instrumental music if the same com- bination happens to be in a temple. Thus ends the Vyaya. 46. In the source connected to Vyaya, an addition is to be done with the letters of the name of the house. They are to be divided by three, and known as Aṁśa. The remainder is Indra, Yama and Nṛpa. 47. Indra and Dhvaja are auspicious for a palace, idol and phallus. Rāja is always good for a city and a royal palace. 48. Yama brings in death for a house but is auspicious for Mother (Tantra) Gaṇeśa, and others selling wine and meat, Bhairava and other cruel Devas. Thus ends the Aṁśaka. 49. From the star of the owner, count the number of the presiding star of the house, then divide it by nine, the remainder is called Tārā. 50. Śāntā, Manoharā, Krūrā, Vijayā, Kalahāvahā, Padminī, Rākṣasī, Vīrā, Ānandā - these are the nine varieties . 51. The third one causes danger while fifth one reduces strength, the seventh one causes loss of wealth, so these three stars should be discarded. Thus ends Tārā .
