Atha dve prāṅmukhe dvāre kuryād dve dakshiṇāmukhe ।
Dvāre pratyaṅmukhe dve cha dve cha kuryād udaṅmukhe ।। (1)
Māhendre prāṅmukhaṁ dvāraṁ praśastaṁ śishṭa-jātishu ।
Aparaṁ tu tathā dvāraṁ jayante prāha niśchayāt ।। (2)
Antar-dvārāṇi choktāni bahir-dvāraṁ athochyate ।। (19)
Yatronnataṁ tato dvāraṁ yatra nimnaṁ tato gṛiham ।
Gṛihe chāpy-ashṭame rāśau tatra dvāraṁ na kārayet । (20)
Gṛihakshate cha māhendre brāhmaṇānāṁ prakīrtitam ।
Mahīdhare cha some cha pha(bha)llāṭārgalayos tathā ।। (21)
Śayanīyaṁ tu kartavyaṁ praśastaṁ pūrvataḥ śikhā ।
Nava-dvārākṛitaṁ kuryād antarikshe mahānasam ।। (22)
Dvāraṁ yatra cha vihitaṁ tad-dig-adhīśādhipaṁ bhaved dhāma ।
Eka-talaṁ vā dvi-talaṁ dvi-tale dvi-mukhaṁ cha nirmukhaṁ vā syāt ।। (21)
