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

Ch. VI - Śālādi gṛhalakṣaṇam 155 67. Somasambhava type of Śālā will have a third Alinda in the front. Ac- cording to this order of the door, Hastinī will have eight pair of houses. 68-71. According to the difference in directions, they may be known serially by different names. They are Gaja, Bhīma, Para, Ākrama, Jayanta as well as Bhāsura, Vasiṣṭha, Samudra. These we get from the back part of Mahiṣī. Starting from the back of the Gāvī type, we get Sunābha Varttaka, Saumya, Candra, Teja, Dīpaka, Kulodyota and Sunetra and Pāśupata, Mahākāla, Sutejaḥ, Tejavardhana, Vāsava - all these are born out of the prowess of Rudra from the elements. These houses are to be shown as coming out of the back of Chāgalī. ⁷ Thus ends the variety of 32 types of pairs of houses. Now⁸ the characteristics of 52 types of Dviśālās are being de- scribed serially. Siddhārtha, Yamasūrya, Daṇḍa, Vāta, Culli and Kāca- they are the varieties of Dviśālā houses. 72-73.L They may be of multiple varieties resulting from the arrangement of aghuprastāra. 74 . Gradually the different number of ventilators of different or uni- form sizes are to be described, so the house could be built with ventilators, corridors on good roads. 75. As far as possible I shall briefly describe Dviśālā according to the position of the Prāggrīva⁹ etc deviating from customary obsarvance. 76. The alteration of these auspicious and inauspicious character depends on the rhythmical disposition and the designation of the arrangement of Guru. Accomplishment and non- accomplishment of the ventilators are known by their names. 7.
