v1.c5.s2.50

On this Vāstu dial of cosmic movement where obliquity and discrepancies appear straight and square, care must be taken not to interfere with the movements and the ways in which they are laid out, for on their courses depend the order in the universe and the destinies of human lives. The science of architecture is part of the science of the luminaries; the time for setting up a building, its place and the direction it has to face are ascertained on the magic diagram of the Vāstumaṇḍala.⁴⁰
