and perimeter by 8, 9, 3, 8, 9 and 9 in due order. And it should be divided by 12, 10,
8, 27, 7 and 9 respectively. The remainders obtained denote a'ya, vyaya, yoni,

The favourable measure is to be determined according to the birth-star of the Master.
A'ya and other factors are to examined in this way. If the birth-star of the Master is
not known, the star corresponding to his name is to be taken for analyzing a'ya and
other factors. In all places and in all circumstances, an auspicious measure for the
building which is favorable for all the factors(a'ya and others) is very difficult to
obtain. So, a'ya and other factors are to be examined carefully in various ways. If
needed, both the birth-star and name-star could be taken for analyzing the fitness of
a'ya and others. The measre for which the beneficial aspects are exceeding and defects
are insignificant is to be accepted.
