Chapter 5 — The 45 devtas one by one

One card for each devta, in one fixed shape: Sanskrit name → the verse it comes from → pada on the mandala → the Vastu Purusha's limb → the power → the traditional attribute → the home item → the door result → read more / get the Field Booster. Tap a devta on the map to jump to its card. Where a line is scripture it says so; where it is the teaching of our own book or modern reading, it says that too.

The mandala map — tap a devta

The 81-pada mandala after Bṛhat Saṁhitā 52.42–50. North up, East right. Tap any devta. Colour = group (Āditya, Rudra, Vasu, asura, devamātā, Brahmā).
Where each line comes from: pada and verse — Bṛhat Saṁhitā 52.42–50 and Matsya Purāṇa 253 (chapter 2); limb — Bṛhat Saṁhitā 52.51–54 (the text names the right side and says the left is its mirror; mirrored ones are marked); door result — 52.70–73 (chapter 4); power — modern reading (chapter 1); attribute and home item — the book Advance Vastu — Vedant Maestro (pp. 213–215), the teaching followed in our consultations. The item is placed in that devta's pada; the vessel and the exact way are decided in consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the home item for each devta come from?

From the book Advance Vastu — Vedant Maestro (pp. 213–215), which is the method our consultations follow. It is not from the Bṛhat Saṁhitā; the verses give names, padas and door results, not household items.

How do I know which pada a room of my house falls in?

Lay the 81-pada grid over the floor plan with the Vastu Grid tool on mahajyotish.com, with North marked correctly. Each cell on the map above corresponds to a cell of that grid.

Is a Devta Field Booster the same as an idol?

No. It is a flat metal plate with a disc pattern, kept in the devta's pada. It needs no daily ritual. Placement matters more than the object, which is why guidance is free.
