Area x 9 (nava) /8 (naga) = Aaya Area x 9 / 8 = Ayam

Area x 9 (amka) /7 (adri)= Vara Area x 9 / 7 = Vara (The week)
Area x 6 (amga) / 9 (nava)= amsa Area x 6 / 8 = Amsa
Area x 8 (gaja)/12 (surya) =Dravyam Area x 8 / 12 = Dhanam (Income)

Area x3 (vahni) /8(asta) = Runa (Debts) Area x 3 / 8 = Runam (Debts)

Area x 8 (naga) / 27 (bha) = Nakshatra Area x 8 / 27 = Nakshatra
Area x8(asta)/30 (Tidhi)= Tithi Area x 6 / 30 = Tithi
Area x 7 (sagara) / 27 (Ruksha) = Yuti / yoga
Area x 8 (naga) / 120 (Khabham) = Ayu (life Area x 9 / 120 = Ayu (Life span)

Area x 9 / 8 = Dikruti

In the Sarnrangana Sutradhara, the writer King Bhoja states.

1. For Aaya: If the Kshetripada (length & width of the selected area) is divided by 8 the remainder,
1. Dwaja, 2. Dhuma, 3. Simha, 4. Svana, 5. Vrashabha, 6. Khara, 7. Gaja, 8. Kaka the remainder
0 = 8.
2. The Nakshatra : By multiplying the Kshetra pada by 8 and dividing by 27, we get Nakshatra. If
the remainder number is 8, it stands for vyaya. ie., expenditure. It this number of expenditure
is less than the no. of income, it is known as yaksa, if more than that it is known as rakshasa.
If it is equal it is called as pisacha. Among these yaksha is considered for best, rakshasa is
negative and pisacha will give normal result.
3. Amsa Sadhana : Add the number of vyaya and gruha nama nakshtra and divide this total by 3,
the remainder 1 is indramasa, 2 is yamamsa and the 3 is rajasamsa. Indra & rajasamsa will
give best results whereas the yamasa is inauspicious.
4. Rasi sadhana : Multiply the gruha nakshatra with 4 and divide by 12 the result is the rasi. When
the rasi is 6, 5,2, 8, 12 against the native's rasi it is inauspicious.
5. The Tarabala : Counting from the Janma Nakshtra of a person to the nakshatra of the house
and dividing by nine, the remainder 4,6,9 are auspicious, 1,2, 8 are normal and the numbers 3,
5, 7 are evil.
6. Ayuvu (Longevity) : Multiplying the kshetra pada by 8 and dividing by 120, we get ayuvu of the
house. 0 counts as 8 which is not good.
The other classical texts like Aparajita Prucha, Vastu Vidya, Manushyalaya Chandrika, Manusutra
etc., give some variations. So it is necessary to observe the Aaya and the navavargas before any
constructions to achieve good results for prosperity, wealth, growth etc.

Aayadi constitutes six formulae Aaya, Vyaya, Yoni, Raksha, Vara and Tithi which are explained
below. The remainder obtained by using these formulae determines whether it is a gain or loss. If it is a
gain, then the structure is proportionate and stable and the dimensions are right. However if it is a loss,
then it means the dimensions are not right and should be suitably corrected.
1. Yoni is the remainder of Breadth x 3 divided by 8
2. Vyaaya is the remainder of Breadth x 9 divided by 10
3. Aaya is the remainder of Length x 8 divided by 12
4. Raksha is the remainder of Length x 8 divided by 27
5. Vara is the remainder of Height x 9 divided by 7
6. Tithi is the remainder of Height x 9 divided by 30

1. Yoni is the remainder of Breadth x 3 divided by 8

2. Vyaaya is the remainder of Breadth x 9 divided by 10
3. Aaya is the remainder of Length x 8 divided by 12
4. Raksha is the remainder of Length x 8 divided by 27
5. Vara is the remainder of Height x 9 divided by 7
6. Tithi is the remainder of Height x 9 divided by 30
