Those who are experts in the planning of villages and towns should know that
with regard to the planning of large settlements such as cities, towns and such
others, these designs (plans) are fit enough and productive of auspicious results.
There is no doubt about this. The expert should design the main road to be either
east-oriented or north-oriented. Houses are to be constructed either on both sides
of the main roads or on only one side of them. The village associated with one
main road, two main roads or three main roads running eastward or nothward is
known as Dan.d'ika. In the case two roads, they should be formed so as to
appear like the two blades of a scissors pivoted at the middle.
पूर्वाग्रं उत्तराग्रं च कृत्वा वीथि द्वयं द्वयम्।
उदग्रैर्नवान्यैश्च मार्गैयुक्तं तु तद्भवेत्।। ७
pu'rva'gram uttara'gram ca kr'tva' vi'thi dvayam dvayam /
