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

Or, the architect, who is the knower of Va’stu S’a’stra , may accept the perimeter
whose naks’atra coincides with the birth star of the owner. The naks”atra which
is agreeable to both the birth star(janma naks”atra) and the name star( na’ma
naks”atra) is considered to be the foremost. The naks”atra which is agreeable
to only one star out of the birth star and the name star is said to be moderate.
He should abandon the naks”atra which contradicts both the birth star and the
name star. What is the consummate effect of the naks”atra is well declared to be
indicative of longevity of the building.
ध्वजादीनां वशेनाथ वयस्तत्र प्रकल्पयेत् ।
सकलञ्चाष्टभिर्हन्यादायस्सोऽप्यन्यथोच्यते ।। १०
dhvaja’di’na’m vas’ena’tha vayas tatra prakalpyate
sakalan”ca’s”t’abhir hanya da’yasso apyanyata’ bhavet 10
The longevity of the building is determined even based on the eight yonis,
dhvaja and others. On dividing the perimeter by 8, the remainder obtained
denotes the factor known as A’ya. A’ya is determined even in a different way.
सकलञ्चाष्टभिर्भक्त्वा भजेद् द्वादशभिर्गुरुः।
शिष्टस्वायस्समाख्यातो व्ययस्तत्र प्रकीर्त्यते ।। ११
sakalan”ca’s”t’abhir bhaktva’ bhajed dva’das’abhir guruh
s’is”tastva’yas sama’khya’to vyayas tatra prakirtyate 11
Having multiplied the perimeter by 8 , the architect-guru should divide it
by 12. It is well declared in this Agama that the remainder obtained denotes
a’ya. Then the factor known as vyaya is explained .
संस्थाप्य लब्धनक्षत्रं अष्टभिर्विभजेद् बुधः।
व्ययश्शिष्ट इह प्रोक्तस्त्वन्यथाऽपि च कथ्यते ।। १२
samstha’pya labdha naks”atram as”t’abhir bhajed budhah
vyayas’s’is”t’a iha proktas tvanyatha’ api kathyate 12
