O, the virtuous Sages!, the maha’pi’t’hapada is to be designed so as to be associated with
two diagonals. Out of the 16 grids, the four central grids which are in the interior of the
man.d’la are occupied by Brahma. I’s’a, Jayanta, Aditya, Bhr’s’a, Agni, Vitathi, Yama,
Bhr’gu, Pitr’ (Nir’uti), Sugri’va, Varun.a, S’es”a, Va’yu, Mukhya, Soma(Kubera),
Aditi – these deities occupy the exterior grids. This maha’pi’t’ha pada is fit for
the settlement of small village, colony and so forth.
Maha’pi’t’ha pada is formed of 5 east-west lines(su’tras) and five north-south
lines. The north-east grid is shared by two deities Aditi and I’s’a. The south-east
square is shared by Bhr’s’a and Agni. The south-west grid is shared by Bhr’gu
and Pitr’. The north-west grid is shared by Ses”a and Va’yu. The remaining
grids are occupied by other deities, each one being taken possession of by each
deity. In this way, 12 exterior grids are occupied by 16 va’stu devatas and the
inner four grids are occupied by Va’stu Brahma. The entire space occupied by
Va’stu Brahma becomes known as Brahma Stha’na.
