Dear Kulbirji, Vishalji, other scholars,
While looking the diagram presented in 1941 pg 396, I had some other idea about it.
I am doing vastu for many years and had observed its results in jatak's life.
Ancient vastu divides the mandala ( area for a square plot) into four concentric zones. The inner zone is Brahma, the next is Daiva, the third zone is Manushya and the fourth outermost zone is Paisacha.
Its advices to construct the building only in Manushya and Daiva portion.
Paisacha portion i.e. the portion between house and boundary wall all four side should be open for movement, and Brahma (centre) open for air and light.
I hope i am able to convey above properly.
Now,
This very concept is explained by Pandit in Lk pg 396, 1941.
KHANA NUMBER 6=SHUMAL(WALL OF NORTH)
KHANA NUMBER 5=MASHRIQ KEE DEEWAR (WALL OF EAST)
KHANA NUMBER 8=JANOOBI DEEWAR (WALL OF SOUTH)
KHANA NUMBER 11=MAGRIB DEEWAR (WALL OF WEST)
These above houses represent outer boundary of the house and paisacha open zone of the plot. See the diagram two line are drawn and lot of space is shown there.
KHANA NUMBER 9=SEHAN MARKAJ(BUNIYAD OF MAKAAN KUNDLI)
Above Khana represent the Bhrama zone (centre) of house.
KHANA NUMBER 2=SHUMAL MAGRIB(NORTH WEST)
KHANA NUMBER 4=SHUMAL MASHRIQ(NORTH EAST)
KHANA NUMBER 1=MASHRIQ(EAST TOWARDS NORTHERN SIDE)
KHANA NUMBER 12=JANOOB MASHRIQ(SOUTH EAST)
KHANA NUMBER 2=SHUMAL MAGRIB(NORTH WEST)
KHANA NUMBER 3=JANOOB (SOUTH TOWARDS WESTERN SIDE)
KHANA NUMBER7=JANOOB MAGRIB(SOUTH WEST)
KHANA NUMBER 10=MAGRIB(WEST TOWARDS NORTHERN SIDE)
These above Khannas says about the construction part of the building. (Daiva and Manushya zone)
This type of construction you will find in all old haveli's and commonly in old houses. In old Jaipur, which is build by kings can be seen here.
The only thing i want to know why pujya pandit has left one part in south adjoining khana number 3 (south towards east).? I will like LK scholars to clear it.
I have just share my understanding over this subject, you are welcome to accept or ignore it.
Thankyou
Best Wishes,
Vijay Goel
Dear Goel ji;
Khanna no 8 has been given a special place in Lal Kitab.
Only house to have retrospect.
House no 12 links to roof side also; House no. 3 Gateway for exit.
The portion under consideration comes between House no. 12; 3 and 8.
Regards
Kulbir Bains
