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

Ch. I – Miśrakādhyāyaḥ 47 159. Hastā, Puṣyā, Āśleṣā, Rohiṇī, Śatatāraka (Śatabhiṣā), Pūrvabhadrā, Uttarabhadrā - these stars are to be written on the third row. 160. Uttaraphālgunī, Purvaphālgunī, Pitṛ (Maghā, Mūlā), Agni (Kṛttikā), Bharaṇī, Aśvinī, and Pauṣṇa (Revatī) - these seven stars are to be put on the door line. 161-163. Three stars starting from Aśvinī, five stars starting from Ārdrā, four stars starting from Pūrvāṣāḍhā, Uttarabhādrapadā and Revatī - these are under the lunar house while others are under the solar house. If the lunar stars come under the Sun, and the Sun is united with the Moon then that place will be devoid of any particles and Śalya. It indicates that there is no Dravyaśalya, only a small quantity of other particles may be there. 164. If the Sun is in the western direction and the Moon in the East, in that position one can detect Śalya. If the Sun is in the Eastern direction and the Moon is in the West there one can indicate (Vinirdiśet) the 'Dravya'. 165. At the time of sunrise, the star of the Nāḍī is to be divided by 60. If the remainder is 17 (dinendu) in the daily motion of the planet (bhuktiyukte), it will be candramā at that time. 166. The position of the Sun and the stars will be counted in the man- ner of the Moon to get the desired time. Wood, iron, charcoal (Aṅgāra), bone, will be counted as Śalya. 167. While digging the residential land under the stone or water one should weed out all these. A wise man will uplift the Śalya, - so says Aparājitā.
