3.1.1.6
tacālo vā vimitaṃ vā prācīnavaṃśam minvanti | prācī hi devānāṃ dik purastādvai devāḥ pratyañco manuṣyānupāvṛttāstasmāttebhyaḥ prāṅtiṣṭhañjuhoti
On this (ground) they erect either a hall or a shed, with the top-beams running from west to east; for the east is the quarter of the gods, and from the east westwards the gods approach men: that is why one offers to them while standing with his face towards the east.
