- Statement
- The eight quarter-lords from the east — Indra, Fire, Yama, Nirrti, Varuna, Wind, Moon, Shiva — give their names to the water-veins of their directions; a ninth Great Vein lies at the center, with hundreds of named branches. A vein rising from the nether-world is auspicious, as are veins of the four cardinal points; intermediate-quarter veins are inauspicious.
- Dikpala Note
- ⚑ This is the BS dikpala roster (54.3) — Fire/Agni explicitly in the SE; resolves Q3. Cardinal-vein auspiciousness vs intercardinal-inauspiciousness echoes the corner-spirit proscription (53.83–84).
