The
science of architecture owes its origin to eighteen great sages. Their
names are Bhrigu, Atri, Vashishtha, Vishvakarma, Maya, Narada,
Nagnajita, Vishalaksha, Puranadara, Brahma, Kartikeya, Nandishvara,
Shounaka, Garga, Vasudeva, Aniruddha, Shukra and Brihaspati .
The building of a house should never be begun in the month of Chaitra. A
person who does this is sure to contract a disease. The month of
Vaishakha is a good time to begin. One who does this is bound to own
many cows.
The months of
Agrahayana, Magha and Falguna are also auspicious. An individual who
begins the task in Agrahayana has full granaires, one who begins it in
Magha attains all sorts of riches and one who begins it in Falguna
obtains gold and sons. Ashada is also a good month to start. Servants
and animals are owed by a person who starts the building in Ashada.
The months of Jyaishtha, Shravana, Bhadra, Ashvina and Pousha are
inauspicious. If you start in Jyaishta, you will die soon; you will
also die if you begin in Shravana; begin in Bhadra and you will suffer
from all manner of losses; your wife will die if you start the task in
the month of Ashvina; and all your goods will be stolen if you start in
the month of Pousha. It is best to begin the building of a house when
the nakshatras Ashvini, Rohini, Mula, Uttarabhadrapada, Uttarashada,
Uttarafalguni or Mrigashira are in the sky. Any day is permissible with
the exception of Sunday and Tuesday. The ground on which the house is
to be build has to be tested. A pit should be dug and a sapling
planted. If the sapling thrives and growns into a big tree, the ground
has been well-chosen. But if the tree withers away or does not grow
into a strong tree, one ought to move somewhere else. A diagram is then
drawn on the ground, in the form of a square with eighty-one smaller
squares inside it. That is the larger square will be subdivided into
nine squares along very side. Nine multiplied by nine gives the eighty-
one smaller squares. In each of these eight-one smaller squares, a
specific god has to be worshipped.
