Principleअष्टमांश
Wooden Furniture on Devta Pads Is Not a Dosh; Protect the Ashtamansh
A home cannot keep all 45 devta pads empty. Wooden furniture placed on any devta's pad, even on its most vital point (ati marma), is not considered a dosh; the vedic rule is to protect the ashtamansh, the sensitive one-eighth part of the pad.
What it does
Lets owners and carpenters place furniture without disturbing the devtas.

Cautions
- Keep the ashtamansh of each pad protected
Explanation and notes
Wood does not sink in water, it floats, so it does not weigh on the devta. The devtas are below us, and in scientific terms each pad is a particular energy.

Principleवास्तु पुरुष
Origin of Vastu Purush and the 45 Devtas, and Why They Matter
During Shiva's battle with Andhakasura a drop of his sweat produced a starving mahabhoot; devas and asuras laid him face down and 45 devtas sat on him, creating 45 places with separate functions on every plot. Brahma made him his manas putra and promised that whoever occupies land would remember and feed him.
Principle
81-Pada Grid for Homes and Business, 64-Pada for Temples, Villages and Cities
Both grids hold the same 45 vastu devtas, but the 81-pada mandala is used for homes and business premises while the 64-pada mandala is used for temples, villages, palaces (raj mandir), towns and city gates.
Principleगर्भ विन्यास
Vastu Devtas Work Best When Established at Garbh Vinyas or Shilanyas
The biggest pooja, havan and sthapana of the 45 devtas should be done at garbh vinyas or shilanyas, while the devtas are on open ground and can receive their samagri at their own pads; the building is then raised over them.
Principle
Leaving the Plinth for One Season So the Planets Charge the Land
In earlier times, after garbh vinyas and the plinth beam, builders left the work for a season of about three months so that the sun, moon, 27 nakshatras and 9 planets could fully act on the newly acquired and worshipped land.
