Once the field has been carefully shaped into a quadrangle and its six divisions purified, the process of construction begins. Measurements are taken in all four directions, starting from the east, and their results are considered in the order of circumambulation. Each direction holds its own unique influence: in the direction of Indra, excessive theft, anger, and fear prevail; in the south, there is endless fear of disease and loss of vitality; the west brings both great fortune and extreme misfortune, suffering and sorrow; and in the direction of the cold cow, one finds an increase in wealth, but also fear related to the month and illness. It is advised that the door of the house be placed in the west or south. At the very center, in the ninth position, lies the Brahma-sthāna, a spot of utmost reverence. If construction begins in the portion belonging to spirits, it will bring suffering, sorrow, and fear. The lines marking the head of the plot arise from the main directions, the intermediate points, and the center, and one must recognize the vital joints of the plot at various places. Certain months are auspicious for construction: Phālguna, Vaiśākha, Māgha, Śrāvaṇa, Kārtika, and those governed by Soma. The divisions, starting from 'a' and the directions beginning with the east, follow in order. The origins of the groups of directions are explained: the fifth from one’s own group is considered an enemy. If a group exchanges its place, destruction follows; the middle brings debt, while wealth brings auspiciousness. Seven should be feared; the rest bring prosperity to the practitioner. Thus, the portions of wealth and non-wealth are counted in order according to the signs. Odd numbers bring auspiciousness and gain, while even numbers cause loss of wealth. The seventh sign always results in self-destruction for the owner; the sixth and eighth bring death, but the others are auspicious for wife and home. The remaining planetary portions grant the fulfillment of all desires and purposes. From the east, the head lies on the left side of the plot, moving counterclockwise. If the master of the plot faces a certain direction, he should build the house facing that way. If the owner is strong, there is no fault in constructing a house facing his own direction. In the center of the house, at a distance of a hand, a pit should be made for the deposit. In this pit, a stake is placed in the belly for the increase of sons and grandsons. The abdomen of Brahmins and others, adorned with gold, cloth, and similar ornaments, is made from red sandalwood, palāśa, red stone, and other large red materials. This should be octagonal; the third is Manu-shaped, soft, and without blemish, and it is marked on the earth with the thread of six-fold purification. The timing of the placement is crucial: when the ascendant is not afflicted by malefics or the eighth house is avoided, and when the ascendant is viewed or joined by benefics, the stake should be placed. When benefics reside in their own trines, angles, or triangles, and others are in the third, sixth, or eleventh houses, the construction proceeds. There can be one, two, three, four, or seven halls, with some houses called ten-hall houses. The types include Dhruva, Dhānya, Jaya, Nanda, Khara, Kānta, Manorama, Ākranda, Vipulākhya, Vijaya, and the sixteenth house. Heavy or light structures should be established in front, and the upward ones should be placed above. A verandah is to be made with a light step, circumambulating from the house door. The bathing room is best placed in the eastern direction, and the kitchen in the southeast. Thus, the sacred process of constructing a house is completed, following the wisdom of the directions, auspicious timings, and proper placement, ensuring prosperity, harmony, and fulfillment for its inhabitants.
