कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

अन्यदेवं विधं वास्तुसर्वदोषकरं भवेत्।
यत्कर्म विहितं मोहादेवं भूते तु वास्तुनि॥ ४७
तन्महादोषदं यस्मात् सर्वथा तद्विवर्जयेत्।
हीनजातेस्समुद्दिष्टं उत्कृष्टानां विधीयते॥ ४८
उत्कृष्टोक्तं न हीनस्य सर्वदेवेषु योग्यकम्।
मिश्रवर्णयुतं वास्तु श्रेष्ठं तद्वर्णजन्मनाम्॥ ४९

Other grounds which are associated with such qualities and features become the source of all kinds of misery
and misfortune. Any constructional activity carried out in such defective grounds impelled by deluded mind
would be the source of insurmountable difficulties. Therefore such activities on the defective grounds
should by all means be avoided. The directions set forth for the lower castes are applicable even to the higher
castes. But the rules and codifications given for the higher class are not applicable to the lower class; they
could be applied for the constructions related to the Deities. The ground which is associated with mixed colors
is highly suitable for those people for whom such colors are specifically recommended.
पूर्यमाणे महीं खात्वा गर्ते स्वैरेव पांसुभिः।

Having dug the ground up to a depth of one hasta, the Acharya should fill up the pit with the same earth
removed from the pit. If some quantity of earth is left out after the pit is filled up, that ground is considered to
be of supreme kind. If more quantity of earth is needed to fill up the pit, then it means that the ground is
of lower type. If the earth is sufficient enough to fill up the pit, then the ground is considered to be of medium
type.
सपुष्पकुम्भतोयेन पूर्यमाणेऽवटे यदि॥ ५१
शस्तंप्रदक्षिणावर्तं उदकं शान्तवुद्बुदम्।
उत्तान पुष्पकं श्रेष्ठं न त्वधोमुख पुष्पकम्॥ ५२
