The exists and entries should not be hindered by anything. These being blocked by a thoroughfare, tree, corner of another house, are inauspicious.

For the persons born of Vrscika, etc. the door is advised in the east, south and west in order. The door shall have two units of length and one unit of width. There must be eight doors at least in a house. The Matsya Purana 62 says that the house whose doors interlap with doors and get obstruction with other things is very inauspicious.

The Matsya Purana 65 says that multiply the length by the breadth of the house and divide the product by 8. If the remainder be 1, then the bandha of the house will be dhvaja or the flag. Similarly if it 2,3,4,5,6,7, the bandha will be as follows, vrisa, simha, vrisabha, gandhava, hasti and kaka. The dhvaja house is auspicious in all directions and is good. Especially it brings all sorts of happiness when used in towards the western door in direction. It further says that Simha is auspicious towards the north, Vrisabha, towards the east and Hasti is auspicious towards the south. It would appear that the length and breadth of these different apartments of a household were chosen in such a manner that the apartments belonged

209 to the eight bandhas named above. This was probably considered auspicious and the proper thing to do. 66 The, Matsya Purana says that the area of the house, multiplied by 8 should be divided by Rksa (or 27 the number of the stars) the remainder Rksa star (being the star of the house) should be known respectively as Vyaya. If this figure be in excess, it means. inauspicious. Therefore, the excess in Vyaya is to be avoided. 67 The GP 68 says that the length divided by width that number is considered to be the Rasi of the vastu. Divided by eight, the remainder is called Aya. Multiply it by eight and divided by seven (Rksabhaga), consider what remains as Rksa. Multiply this four. Then divide by nine what remains is Vyaya according to Devala. If it is multiplied by eight it shall be Pinda Divide it by sixty. What remains is Jiva. The quotient is Marana (death). No one shall build houses behind the vastu. They are to be built inside the vastu.
