The Reclining Position of the Vastu Purusha

In each month, he stretches his legs toward the specific zodiac sign; listen, O maiden, as I describe how the Vastu Purusha lies upon the earth to illuminate it, with his head resting in the opposite direction, and his right hand positioned upward toward the east. (33)

In whichever direction the month's zodiac sign resides, he stretches his legs there; in the seventh sign from that, he places his head. With the left hand tucked under and the right hand placed above, within the gaze of his sacred eyes, lies the benefit of the Vastu Purusha. (35)

The Entrance

O woman wearing heavy earrings, listen as I speak of the timing for the entrance. If the entrance is placed where there is an obstruction original: "வேதை" (Vedhai) - an astrological affliction or blockage., it is said to be ruinous. If the entrance is placed facing an old temple or the sharp corner of a temple, it is ill-omened. But if the entrance is placed according to the proper hunt likely a metaphor for seeking the correct alignment, wealth and prosperity will surely follow.

(Meaning:) If the entrance is placed near the hand of the Vastu Purusha, it is bad for the ruler of the house. If the entrance is placed at the head, death will occur. If the entrance is placed at the side, there will be fear of the government/king. If the entrance is placed at the belly, there will be a life of prosperity. (36)
