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

The architect should design the man.d'ala called des'i'ya pada in such a way that
it appears with two diagonal lines(and 144 grids). At its center, the Va'stu Brahma'
occupies thirty-six grids. Those four deities who are seated facing Brahma' occupy
twelve grids each. Aditya, Yama, Varun.a and Soma who are in the outer row
occupy two grids each. The location of Caraki' and others is to be identified as
told before. The man.d'ala specifically known as Des'i'ya is very rightly considered
to be fit for the settlements such as agraha'ra and others.

The man.d'ala called ubhayacan.d'ika is associated with two diagonal lines (and
169 grids). At its center, Vastu Brahma' is seated occupying forty-nine grids. In
the outer belt , Aditya in the east ,Yama, Varun.a and Soma occupy
three grids each. The corner deities, I's'a , Agni, Pitr' and Va'yu occupy three
grids each. The four deities, Aryama, Vivasva'n, Mitra and Pr'thivi'dhara, occupy
fourteen grids each. The corner deities of the inner belt, A'pavatsa and others occupy
their respective grids as told before. This ubhayacan.d'ika pada is fit for the settlements
like agraha'ra and others.
