Madhya-rathyāvṛitā vīthī samaṁ evaṁ vidhīyate ।
Mukhyā vīthī dvi-pakshā syād gṛiha-tāraṁ tri-daṇḍakam ।
Evaṁ bāhya-vīthī syād antar-vīthir ihochyate ।
Paksha-yuktā tu vīthī syāt paksha-hīnaṁ tu mārgakam ।
Tri-chatush-pañcha-daṇḍaṁ vā vīthīnāṁ vistṛitir bhavet ।
Shaṭ-saptāshṭa-daṇḍaṁ vā nanda-paṅktīśa-bhānuṁ vā ।
Evaṁ tu svastika-vīthī lāṅgalākāravad bhavet ।
Antar-vīthī chaika-pakshā bāhya-vīthī dvi-pakshakā ।
Paritas tu mahā-vīthir vither eshā dvi-pakshayuk ।
Vīthīnāṁ pārśvayor deśe vīthikādyair alaṅkṛitam ।
