कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

The houses which are in continued decay, which remain disjointed, which have been
spoiled by rains and thunder and which are bent down due to the passage of time are not
fit for dwelling in, even though such houses are intensively dear to the owners.
अगस्त्यः करवीरश्च नन्द्यावर्त्तश्च किंशुकः ।
अर्कः कार्पासकश्चैव षडेते गृहनाशनः ।। १४३
agastyah karavi'ras'ca nandya'vartan"ca kims'ukah /
arkah ka'rpasakas'caiva s"ad'ete gr'ha na's'anah // 143
Agastya, karavira, nandyavatra, kimsuka, arka and karpasaka- these six plants should
not be planted in the house, since they are ruinous to the buildings.
पलाशः खादिरश्चैव प्लक्षश्चिन्तावटस्तथा ।
गृहे न वर्धनीयास्स्युर्ग्रामादौ शुभदा मताः ।। १४४
pala's'ah khadiras'caiva plaks"as'cintavat'as tatha' /
gr'he na vardhani'ya'ssyur gra'ma'dau s'ubhada' mata'h // 144
Palasa, kha'dira, plaks"a, cinta'vat'a – these trees are not to be grown in the house-
complex. But they will yield auspicious effects to the villages and others.
सभायाममितं वास्तु पददैर्घ्य समं यदि ।
युक्तव्ययाधिकं तस्मात्तदा गृहं अशोभनम् ।। १४५
sabha'ya'mamitam va'stu pada dairghya samam yadi /
yuktavya'ya'dikam tasma't tada' gr'ham as'obhanam // 145
If the length and breadth are equal in the sabha' type of building which has been
constructed without proportionate measures, then it means that the house is affected
by the defect of vyaya being in excess. Therefore such kind of building is
inauspicious to live in.
