What if the land soaks up the water during the pit test; should the pit be filled again?
No. The test is not possible everywhere: on sandy land, on land with very high porosity and permeability that absorbs the water as soon as it is poured, or on fractured land with many cracks, the water cannot show any movement. The test works on solid land.

In the pit water test, if the water swirls clockwise but the air bubbles move to the sides, is the land good?
If the bubbles move to the sides and quickly vanish, merging into the water, the land does have a defect, but it will be resolved with treatment. The water then turning clear confirms this. Observing the practical properly takes about an hour.
What are the five parts used in the panchang test, and what should be watched for?
Panchang means the five parts of any tree: its root, bark, fruit, flower and leaves. Boil them in water and watch whether any sound comes, like the crackling heard when ghee or oil is used for tempering. Quiet boiling shows good land; jumping and crackling show negative energy.
During the pit water test, if insects come up after the water is poured, is that a sign?
Before pouring water, check the pit for insects and clear them; the process should not be done with insects in it. Insects living inside the soil come out when water is poured, and that is not an omen. What matters is the air bubbles: a bubble bursting suddenly with a cracker-like sound sometimes gives a negative indication.
How should the energy of a plot bought for investment be checked?
Use the pit water method taught in the previous class. With swar, walk the whole land: if the same swar keeps running with the water or earth element throughout, whether it is Chandra swar or Surya swar, the land is good.
A rectangular plot is built up on three sides and open only on the West, so its energy is low. How can it be extended?
Do not extend it. Instead, place energy-giving items and capture the energy from all four sides to raise the energy level; this is covered in the energy chapter.
After one bone has been dug out of a plot, how can we tell whether more shalya remains there, and how much more should be dug?
More bones remained in the case discussed. Bones are traced where the dowsing rod or pendulum turns anti-clockwise, or where the swar shifts into sushumna. Remove the soil over at least a 10 x 10 ft area around the spot, 5 ft from the centre in each direction, down to the depth where the bone lay plus another 1 to 1.5 ft, and throw it away. Then purify the land.
