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

Or, for all castes and for all costructions or settlements, all the man.d'alas
may be applied as agreeably held in this Agama. But it is expressly declared
here that of all the man.d'alas from the sakala pada to the indraka'nta pada,
the man.d'u'ka pada of 64 grids, the paramas'a'yika pada of 81 grids and the
a'sana pada of 100 grids – these three man.d'alas are very prominent. In the
settlements such as villages and in the construction of houses and others, all
the activities related to va'stu are to be executed based on these three man,d'alas.

In respect of all the va'stu man.d'alas from sakala to Indraka'nta, some directions
are prescribed in a different way. Such man.d'alas may be designed without
the diagonal lines; some may be designed so as to appear with two diagonals
cofined to the central grids; or , they may be designed as associated with many
lines connected to the diagonal lines. In this way, all the man.d'alas are
recommended for constructional purposes. Suitable man.d'ala is to be selected
and applied based on scriptural knowledge and experience.
