v1.c5.s9.7
The connection of the Vāstu with the ceaseless circular motion of the serpent shows ordered extension clasped by the time world, and carried in its movement. For all permanent work (sthirakārya) the Sthiravāstu is to be worshipped, and for all impermanent work (carakārya) such as the habitations of man, or the setting up of a liṅga made of clay, the Caravāstu should be worshipped (ib. 16). Temples are meant to last and are always built on the Sthiravāstu.
