On multiplying by 3 and dividing by 8, if the remainder is 1, 3, 5 or7, it
denotes dhvaja, simha, vr's"a or gaja respectively. Since they point out
the main directions, east, south, west and north respectively, they are
declared to be auspicious. Main entrance should face one of the main
directions. Other remainders point out intermediary directions and hence
they are considered to be inauspicious. For any building, the main entrance
should not face the intermediary direction.

The architect should multiply the perimeter by 3 and divide by 27. It is
well declared in this Agama that the remainder obtained by this calculation
