74 Directions for the Installation of the Bull
वृषभस्थापनं वक्ष्ये तल्लक्षणपुरस्सरम्।
अन्तर्द्वारस्य पूर्वस्मिन् कल्पयेत्प्रथमं वृषम्॥ १
द्वितीयं मण्डपाग्रे तु पीठात्पूर्वे तृतीयकम्।
पीठे पीठे विशेषेण पश्चिमे वृषभस्थितिः॥ २
vṛṣabhasthāpanaṁ vakṣye tallakṣaṇapurassaram।
antardvārasya pūrvasmin kalpayetprathamaṁ vṛṣam॥ 1
dvitīyaṁ maṇḍapāgre tu pīṭhātpūrve tṛtīyakam।
pīṭhe pīṭhe viśeṣeṇa paścime vṛṣabhasthitiḥ॥ 2
Now I am giving the directions for the installation of the bull-vehicle, including its characteristic
features. The first bull should be installed in front of the innermost entrance.
The second bull should be installed in front of the front hall(agra mandapa). The third bull
should be installed in front of the bali-pitha. Specifically, the exact place for the installation
of the bull in the fourth and the fifth enclosures is behind the bali-pitha.
पीठार्धं वा समं तत्र द्विगुणं त्रिगुणं तु वा।
त्यक्त्वा चतुर्गुणं वापि तस्याग्रे स्थापयेद् वृषम्॥ ३
pīṭhārdhaṁ vā samaṁ tatra dviguṇaṁ triguṇaṁ tu vā।
tyaktvā caturguṇaṁ vāpi tasyāgre sthāpayed vṛṣam॥ 3
In the inner enclosure, the bull should be installed in front of the bali-pitha, leaving out
half, one, twice, thrice or four times the width of the bali-pitha(such measure of space should
be between the bali-pitha and the bull)
