Then, having covered the pavilion completely with a larger cloth and having decorated it so
as to be charming, he should arrange for the feeding of 10 to 1000 brahmins. Then he should
purify the interior of the pavilion and declare the auspiciousness of the chosen time and
perform the fire-ritual related to vastu. Having come around the pavilion with a burning
effigy of the evil force(paryagni karana), he should purify the area by sprinkling the drops
of sivatirtha. Once again he should purify the interior and declare the auspiciousness of the
chosen time. Then he should design a sthandila over the altar with 8, 4 or 2 dronas of paddy
grains, sesame, parched paddy, darbhas, flowers and other substances.
