- Statement
- The temple site is always divided into 64 squares (man-vastu-64); its main gate is auspicious in any of the four cardinal directions.
- Contrast Note
- Contrasts with dwellings, for which the commentary made the 81-grid obligatory (rul-mandala-81-for-dwellings) and door padas were graded individually. Temple gate-placement is comparatively unconstrained.
