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

The A’c’a’rya who is the foremost in constructional techniques should discard
one eighth part and one ninth part according to the category of the man.d’ala
selected and construct the wall, pillar, houses and such others along the left out
line.
गृह पीढा न कर्तव्या पदसूत्रेण धीमता।
यदङ्गं वास्तु मर्त्यस्य बाध्यते सर्वकर्मणि।।
तदङ्गे तु तदीयस्य बाधा परिहरेत्ततः॥ २२
gr’ha pi’d’ha’ na kartavya’ pada su’tren.a dhi’mata’ /
yadan’gam va’stu martyasya ba’dhyate sarva karman.i //
tadan’ge tu tadi’yasya ba’dha’ pariharet tatah // 22
The A’c’a’rya who is with profound knowledge of the Scriptures should
ascertain accurately the avoidable points such as marma and so forth and raise the
walls, pillars and such others . Identification of marmas and other inauspicious
points should be done in such a way that the planetary positions do not
spell any bad effects on the building as well as on the owner. That part of the
the village or building which is inauspicious and harmful to the human beings
will render all other systematic activities ineffective, resulting in decay. So, by
all means, the Guru should avoid the vulnerable and harmful points.
