2.3.6

One should install Īśvara with 'Tryambaka,' Pārvatī with 'Śrīś ca te,' Skanda with 'Yad akrandat,' Viṣṇu with 'Viṣṇor arāṭam,' Brahmā with 'Ā brahman,' Vāsava Indra with 'Sajoṣāḥ,' Yama with 'Yamāya tvā,' Kāla with 'Kārṣir asi,' and Citragupta with his own mantra, 'Citrāvaso.' / Agni, the Waters, the Earth, Viṣṇu, Indra, Indrāṇī, Prajāpati, the Serpents, and Brahmā are taught as the counter-presiding deities to be established. / 'Agni the messenger' is indeed for Agni; 'Ud uttamam' is for Varuṇa; 'Be soft, O Earth' is for the Earth; 'This Viṣṇu' is for Viṣṇu; 'For Indra, O Soma' is for Indra; in the mantra for Śacī it is 'Uttānaparṇe'; 'O Prajāpati' is for Prajāpati; or 'Eṣa brahmā' is for Brahmā; the mantra 'Reverence be to the Serpents' is taught for the establishing of the serpents. / Gobhila and Vasiṣṭha: / One should install the presiding deities between the planets and the deities. But in the Madanaratna-saṃgraha: / The presiding deities should be established on the right, and the counter-presiding deities on the left, with effort, individually with the vyāhṛtis. / In the Utpalaparimala: / One should install the presiding deities on the right side of the planet, and the counter-presiding deities on the left side of the planet. / Śaunaka: / With 'Kṣetrasya pati,' one should place the Field-Protector to the north of Mars; 'born of the earth' is Mars. / It is stated: The food-offering and flowers of the planets and the primeval deities, and their seat, gift, and installation, should be done in order, just like the planets. But in the Vāsiṣṭha it is stated otherwise: / One should place Rudra to the north of the Sun with the Tryambaka mantra; Menakā's daughter in the southeast direction of the Moon with 'Śrīś ca te'; one should worship Skanda to the south of Mars with 'Yad akrandat'; one should worship Viṣṇu to the east of Mercury with 'Viṣṇor arāṭam'; Brahmā should be established to the north of Jupiter with the mantra 'Brahma jajñānam'; one should arrange Śakra in the east with the mantra 'Sajoṣā indra'; Yama should be established to the west of Saturn with the verse 'Yamāya tvā'; Kāla similarly to the north of Rāhu with the mantra 'Kārṣir asi'; and Citragupta to the southwest of the Ketus with 'Citrāvaso.'
