[Full title: The arrangement of doors (诲惫腻谤补-惫颈诲丑腻苍补) (5) Auspicious and inauspicious Door]

The ancient 惫腻蝉迟耻 texts prescribe different parameters to determine whether the door is auspicious inauspicious. The present text, Mayamata, highlights some viewpoints on the auspicious and inauspicious signs of doors. It is noted that during the opening and closing of the door, if it creates resembling to the beat of a drum noise (产丑别谤颈蝉补尘腻苍补), or roar of an elephant or lion, or sounds like a 惫墨峁嚹� or flute, it is considered as favorable for the building. However, if the door produces sounds like clearing of the throat (kandaragarjana), crying (办谤辞峁�a苍补), a mournful song (办奴箩补苍补), or other kinds of noise, it would not be appropriate for the building. It is also stated that the door should open equally from the top to the bottom. The interior bolt of the door should always be larger than its clasp, and it should not rub against the jambs. Otherwise, Maya warns that otherwise, it may lead to the breaking of friendships and the rise of the number of enemies. When the interior bolt is larger than its clasp and doesn't rub against the jambs, it ensures that the door can function smoothly without unnecessary obstruction. This smooth operation of the door signifies stability and healthy living space.

It is mentioned that if a door aligns with a tree, a boundary, a corner, a well, a pillar, a temple, or a vulnerable point (尘补谤尘补蝉迟丑腻苍补), it should also be considered inauspicious for the building.

摆鈥淭丑别 doorways should never be blocked with anything. The exits and entries should not be hindered by anything. These being blocked by a thoroughfare, tree, corner of another house, are inauspicious. By its being blocked up by a lane means the annihilation of the family; by being blocked up by raised earth it brings jealousy, by being blocked up by moist soil or mud, it brings misery; by being blocked up by a well it gives epilepsy; by being blocked up by a waterfall, it brings in some evil; by being blocked up by some nails, it brings in danger from fire, by its being blocked by any Deva there is danger of destruction.鈥漖^[1]

[鈥淚f there is the corner of another house in front of it, it means the death of the master. The doorway being blocked by a filthy drain or other impurities causes sterility to women. If there be any obstruction in the shape of pillar it indicates difficulties to the wife; and if it be obstructed by the house of a lower caste, it indicates the fear from weapons. No obstruction is recognized at a distance greater than twice the height of the house.鈥漖^[2]
