The Acharya should anoint the casket with tamarind water and rub it with enough
force in order to remove the dirts from the casket and purify it. Then he should
sprinkle the aggregate of five substances got from the cow over the casket and perform the
purificatory rituals for auspiciousness. Subsequently, he should
perform the rituals concerned with auspicious germination of seeds and sprouts
in accordance with the rules. In the night preceding the event of laying the foundation
deposit, the Acharya should keep himself pure by staying in the site of the proposed
foundation deposit or house or the village. Either in the north or east of the proposed
construction, the Acharya should stay there during the night.
