(1) Pūrveṇa phalino vṛikshāḥ kshīra-vṛikshās tu dakshiṇe ।
Paśchimena jalaṁ śreshṭhaṁ padmotpala-vibhūshitam ॥
Uttare saralais tālaiḥ śubhā syāt pushpa-vāṭikā ॥
Sarvatas tu jalaṁ śreshṭhaṁ sthiram asthiram eva cha ।
Pārśve chāpi kartavyaṁ parivārādikālayam ।
Yāmye tapovana-sthānaṁ uttare mātṛikā-gṛiham ।
Mahānasaṁ tathāgneye nairṛitye’tha vināyakam ॥
Varuṇe śrīnivāsas tu vāyavye gṛiha-mālikā ।
Uttare yajña-śālā tu nirmālya-sthānam uttare ॥
Vāruṇe soma-daivatye bali-nirvapaṇaṁ smṛitam ।
Purato vṛishabha-sthānaṁ śeshe syāt kusumāyudhaḥ ॥
Jale vāpi tathaiśāne Vishṇus tu jala-śāyyapi ।
Evaṁ āyatanaṁ kuryāt kuṇḍa-maṇḍapa-saṁyutam ॥
(Matsya-Purāṇa, chap. 270, v. 28-34).
