When renovation works are to be undertaken, when the construction is to be renewed,
when the buildings get damaged and affected with breaks and splits, when affected
heavily by storms and floods, when defiled and disturbed by the king and thieves,
when the south side and the west side of the building get extended, when the east side
and the north side of the construction get reduced, when the exact measures of the
buildings get decreased or increased, when the front entry and the back entry get
displaced or distorted, when the enclosures and the beams meant for shutting the
great doors are damaged, when new works are undertaken in the temples, when
the present owner(yajamana) is replaced by another one, if the construction
is found to be defective in vastu-rules, when the building has been abandoned or kept vacant
for a long time, when some parts of the building get collapsed, when the
vastu-oriented activities have been carried out in a way contrary to the recommended
order, when the house gets affected by the misfortunes created by magical spells and
malevolent incantations, when the residents of the building are affected by fear due to
prolonging diseases and epidemics, when affected by portentous and unusual
occurrences indicative of heavy calamities, when threatened by bad omens – under
all such circumstances and contexts, the highly skilled Acharya should immediately perform
the propitiatory fire-ritual for vastu in order to ward off all sorts of these defects.

महाद्भुते च संप्राप्ते त्रिविधे चोत्तमादिके।
प्रायश्चित्तं विशेषेण वक्ष्यमाणं इदं नयेत्।। ८
