Ch. I – Miśrakādhyāyaḥ 59 200. At first, there should be worshipping in between the East and South- East (Agnikoṇa) corners. Then the stone is to be laid and at the end the owner should go round the site and place five types of gems under the stone. Garga 201. Then, with the declaration of an auspicious day, the stone laying ceremony is to be done and one should start going round in a circle from the North-East (Īśa) corner according to order. 202-203. In the same manner, the pillars and doors are to be mounted. If the stone- laying ceremony(Śilānyāsa) is performed in Rohiṇī, Śravaṇā, Hastā, Puṣyā, Mṛgaśīrṣa, Revatī, and the three Uttarā¹² stars, it is auspicious. In that plot of land, the soil should be levelled. It should be done with the help of water and staff (Daṇḍa) and the plot should be made square. At the base of the foundation wall, one should keep gems, silver and gold which brings pros- perity to the house; otherwise poverty may result. Inadequate or excessive plastering, the foundation wall not made according to the formula of the Śāstra, a structure without any column, whose joints are one over the other in one line, whose upper part is heavy–these six types of defects reduce wealth. 204-207. One should start the construction of the house after carefully taking into account the land, and proportionate wealth, as well as materials like wood-etc. Thus ends the first chapter Miśrakādhyāya of Vāstumaṇḍana, written by Maṇḍana Sūtradhāra. There are 207 Ślokas. 12. Uttarāṣāḍha, Uttara Phalgunī, Uttarabhādrapadā

Chapter II [Āyādhikāraḥ] Now is described the command of Āya.

1. One should have proper knowledge about the place of Āya, Vyaya, and the power of lunar asterism; then the householder will build a house in order to obtain wife, children and wealth.
2. The Āya formula should be counted from the inner part of the foundation wall for a house; it should be counted from the outer part of the foundation wall for a palace. For a hall it is to be counted from inside, as well as from outside, and for beds and seats it should be counted from inside.
3. A city, town or village should be measured with the help of a Daṇḍa (rod). A plot of land would be measured with the Vāstudaṇḍa and the Āya will be counted by the number of hands.
4. The breadth, if multiplied by the length and divided by eight, is known as Dhvaja etc. The remainder will be according to the foundation of Vāstu and should be added by the hands, finger, Yava (1/8th part of an Aṅgula).
5. Dhvaja, Dhūma, Siṁha, Śvā, Vṛṣa, Khara, Gaja, Dhvāṁkṣa, — these are eight Āyas, their position starts from the eastern side of the construction. 6-7. All types of human hands, claws of the bird, necks of lions , faces according to their name. Dhūma, Mārjāra (Dhūma and cat are on the S.E corner) Puruṣa, Dhvaja (Eastern direction), very strong

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 63 lords of all directions reside facing one another. If properly placed they bring prosperity, and if placed otherwise they destroy everything. 8. Dhvaja, Siṁha, Vṛṣa, Hastī will reside in their own position towards the left and right. The cornered one will be kept in their own place, but if placed otherwise, they are to be brought to their own position. 9. If the stars are in Dhvaja (East) Siṁha (South) and Vṛṣa, it is auspi- cious for temples. Gaja (North) is auspicious for the house of Vipra and all other Varṇas. 10. For the lower caste people the houses should be in Dhūma (S.E.) Śvā (S.W), Rāsabha (N.W) and Vāyasa (N.E) direction. Gaja can be put in the place of Vṛṣa and Siṁha and Vṛṣa in the place of Hastī. 11. Dhvaja can be placed everywhere but Vṛṣa should not be shifted from its own position. If the chart is drawn for 9x9 squares, the central plot will be reserved for one's tutelary deity (Kuladevatā) He should be consecrated therein for good and bad omens. Now, the results of the Dhvaja and others are described serially. They indicate gain of wealth, affliction (Santāpa), enjoyment, as well as quarrel, grains, fault of women, friendship and death. 12-13. Dhvaja, can face all directions as well as westwards, Vṛṣa stands in the eastern direction. 14-15. It is auspicious if Siṁha faces towards the North and Hastī faces the South. If the directions are violated then there will be explo- sions, burns, separation as well as falls. They do not have any consecration of Mantras and Āyadeva is lost therein. 16. Dhvaja can be placed in sacrifice for God's, houses, umbrellas, flags, altars, gates, divine clothing, ornaments and water reser- voirs. 17. Dhūma is suitable for the sacrificial pit, fireplace, sacrificial hall, kitchen, and especially for the houses of people who work with fire.

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 65 18. Simha is auspicious for a royal throne, main doors, kingés palaces, machineries, battle houses, weapons, armour, and prisons. 19. Śvā (South-West) is suitable for the houses of working class people, prostitutes, Mlecchas, untouchables, hypocrites, the place for elephants, Caṇḍālas and toilets. 20. Vṛṣa (West ) is appropriate for markets, granary, and dining places, houses of the businessmen, stables, Bhājana¹ of eating places. 21. Among four types of musical instruments, actors and directors, for the prostitutes, potters, and washermen, Khara (N.W) is suit- able for those following these occupations. 22-23a. Gaja should be placed on the North, and Siṁha (South) is to be dis- carded there. In the pleasure garden for a kingés sport, in the house of a kingés wife, seats, beds, transports, and for the house of women Gaja should be added. 23b-24. Though Dhvāṅkṣa (N.E) is not beneficial but Āya is regarded as auspicious for Kambikā (measurement). It is appropriate for a monastery business house and in the aviary. Length of the statue, phallus, flag, umbrella, can be measured with the help of Āya . 25. In other places, the calculation of length and breadth should be fixed. A plan of 11 divisions in length and 50 division in breadth is to be drawn. 26. In the upper chambers serially the members - 14, 27, 2, 12, 14, 8, 4, 3, 5, 6, 9 should be written.

1. This moulding called Bhājana is treated as the topmost or crowning moulding of pedestals and basement. It is rectangular in form.

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 67 27. Under these numbers 'A' and other Mātṛkā, Varṇas are to be written, but Ṛ, long Ṛ, Li, long Li, Visarga and joint words are to be avoided. 28. The alphabets in the name are to be divided by eight. Rest is the āya of man and becomes gehaga due to dhvaja. 29-30. Four types of Vṛṣabha etc. belong to four types of dhvajas etc. These stars and planets are also known as gehagas due to śauca and vyaya. These in buildings ate called bhakṣyas as they eat away into the āya of the owner and hence they are to be discarded. 31. Again, to get the result from the Āya, multiply the length by eight and then it is to be divided by the lunar constellation (27); the remainder is called Nakṣatra. 32. Nakṣatras are of three types, Divine (Daiva), human (Mānuṣa) and Rākṣasa. Rākṣasa brings destruction to a house, like the enmity of Yoni pertaining to Nakṣatras.

(ष) with ਠ (ठ) or ਟ (ट)? It has a loop inside, but wait, look at the loop: In line 6: 'ष्ठ' has a distinct inner loop. In line 15: it has 'ष्ठ' as well, wait, or 'ष्ट'? Wait, the loop is closed with a horizontal bar inside: that's 'ष्ठ'! Wait, look at the vertical: it's 'ष्ठ'! Wait, let's look closely at 'ज्येष्ठानुराधयोरेणः': Wait, is there an 'ा' on ष्ठ? "ज्येष्ठानु..." -> 'ष्ठा' or 'ष्ठ'? Jyeshtha + Anuradha = Jyeshthanuradha (ज्येष्ठानुराधा). So it is 'ष्ठ' + 'आ' = 'ष्ठा'! Wait, does it have an 'ा'? "ज्येष्ठानुराधयोरेणः" -> 'ष्ठा' + 'नु'? If it's Jyeshtha + Anuradha, then a + a = ā, so 'ष्ठा' + 'नु' = ज्येष्ठानुराधयोः! Wait, in line 15, is it "ज्येष्ठानु..." or "ज्येष्ठानु..."? Look at: ज्ये - ष्ठा - नु - रा - ध - य - ो - र् - ए - ण - ः Yes, "ज्येष्ठानुराधयोरेणः" or "ज्येष्ठानु

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 69 33. Puṣyā, Hastā, Maitra, Mṛgaśirā, Aśvinī, Revatī, Śravaṇā, Svātī, Punarvasu

• these nine belong to the divine group.

34. Rohiṇī, Bharaṇī, Ārdrā as well as three Pūrvas (Pūrvāṣāḍhā Pūrvaphālgunī, Pūrvabhādrapadā) three Uttaras (Uttarāṣāḍhā, Uttaraphalgunī, Uttarabhadrapadā) - these nine belong to the hu- man group and if combined with Rākṣasas, they cause death.
35. Maghā, Mūlā, Viśākhā, Jyeṣṭhā, Aśleṣā, Dhaniṣṭhikā, Kṛttikā, Śatabhiṣā, Citrā - these nine belong to the Rākṣasa variety.
36. These are best matched if it is from the same class. The combina- tion of Divine and Human class is of medium character. The combination between Divine and Rākṣasas causes hostility and the combination between the human and Rākṣas variety causes death.
37. According to the principle of origin, Aśvinī and Śatabhiṣā belong to the group of horse; likewise the elephant for Bharaṇī and Pauṣṇa (Revatī), goat for Kṛttikā and Puṣyā, snake (Ahī) for Rohiṇī and Mṛga. (Śvā) dog for Mūlā and Ārdrā, cat for Sarpa and Āditya, rat (Ākhu) for Pūrvaphālgunī and Maghā, cow for two Uttarās (Uttaraphalgunī and Uttarabhadrapadā), buffalo (Mahiṣī) for Hastā and Śvātī, tiger for Citrā and Viśākhā, black antelope (Eṇa) for Jyeṣṭhā and Anurādhā, monkey (Kapi) for Pūrvāṣāḍhā, and Śravaṇā mongoose (Babhru) for Uttarāṣāḍhā and Abhijit, lion (Siṁha) for Pūrvabhādrapadā and Dhaniṣṭhā. 38-40. There is enmity between Meṣa (sheep) and Markaṭa (monkey) Go (cow) and Vyāghra (tiger), Gaja (elephant) and Siṁha (lion).
38. Śvā (Dog) and Eṇa(black antelope), Sarpa (snake) and Nakula (mon- goose) Viḍāla (cat) and Indura (rat), Mahiṣa (buffalo) and Aśva (Horse) are to be discarded up in the buildings of servant, wife and master. Thus ends the command of constellation of the stars.
39. If the constellation of the stars is to be divided by 8, the remain- der is known as Vyaya. If it is less than Āya and congenial, it is known to usher grain and wealth.

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 .

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 73 52-53. From the North-East corner Krittikā and the other seven stars circu- mambulate seven houses; the part of the house where it settles is known as the house of the Moon. If placed in front, it causes loss of longevity, if placed at the back it causes loss of wealth. For a house, if placed on the left or right side, it increases wealth and prosperity. Thus ends Candra. 54. Prītiyoga is of six types. Among them the best one is Samasaptamī. Tṛtīyā and Ekādasī are known by Vṛddhā and Daśamī, Caturthī as Puṣyā. 55. In the chart of a house one should avoid Ṣaḍaṣṭaka, Trikoṇa and Dvi-dvādaśa. Death, quarrels and loss will occur from those combinations. So, these three Prītiyogas should be avoided. 56. If there is parity among the zodiac signs then there will be no enmity; again the vices arising from the combination of planets are removed by the planets themselves. One should not go against the favourable zodiac sign and should avoid Nāḍīvedha. 57. Brahmins, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya, Śūdra occupy Pisces and three other zodiac signs. In a house where the Varṇas are higher than the Varṇa of the house-owner, then it is not regarded as congenial. 58. All zodiac signs are auspicious for Brahmins. Nine zodiac signs for King, six for Vaiśyas, and three for Śūdras- these are the orders of the lordship of the zodiac signs. 59. A householder will count the zodiac signs of the house and the signs of the householder and consider the enmity or Maitrī. If it does not match, then one should consider Prīti. In case Prīti is favourable then other factors are to be ignored. 60. The sixth place in the chart of the house destroys its star. The fifth and third zodiacs are to be considered with the Lagna and others are of the opinion that the Meṣa and other zodiacs come at the end with Navāṁśa. 61. Aśvinī group of triple stars belong to Aries (Meṣa), Maghā group of three belong to Leo (Siṁha), Mūla group of three belong to Sagit- tarius (Dhanu) and rest belong to the (other) nine zodiac signs. Thus ends the amity of the zodiac signs
