Rules for the patient's house

The house should stand in an auspicious direction and place, in the best part of the chief direction, and be protected by mantra, yantra and tantra rites done by those versed in them. It should always be swept, lit with lamps, scented with incense and hung with garlands, guarded, and entered only by tested men and women; it should not be draughty or have holes or defects, should hold equipment and good medicines, and be adorned with pictures and bunches of flowers.
