For the temples built in the style of Merumandara and others and for the temples in which the Linga
having four faces(caturmukha linga) has been installed, four entrances should be provided. For such
temples(having four entrances), the specific direction mentioned earlier does not apply.
यस्यां दिशि भवेद्द्वारं तां प्राचीं परिकल्पयेत्।
लिङ्गस्याभिमुखं यत्तु द्वारं तत्पूर्वमिष्यते॥ २०
तत्र तत्पुरुषं वक्त्रं ऊर्ध्वञ्चाभिमुखं भवेत्।
बलिपीठं वृषं शूलं तद्वक्त्राभिमुखं भवेत्॥ २१

The direction in which the main entrance has been provided should be considered as east. The entrance
which is just opposite to the Linga should be taken as the east-entrance. There, the Tatpurusha face is to
be meditated. The upper face known as Isana should also be meditated as facing that direction. The
bali-pitha, Bull and the trident – all these three should be facing the Linga.
