Then I will tell you the directions for laying the foundation deposit prior to the
commencement of the works concerned with the construction of villages
and such other settlements and with the temples. The selected ground associated with foundat
deposit will yield all prosperities. That which is bereft of such
foundation deposit will meet with destruction.

lay the foundation deposit taking all sorts of efforts. The laying of foundation deposit prior
to the installation of god`s image is considered to be of foremost type.
