15. SLOPE OF LAND

According to the principle given in Vaastu Shastra the slope of the land of a plot has beneficial or baneful effect on the life, activities and achievements of the owner. Generally, the land having slope in the east is considered good for development and progress, slope in the north provides prosperity, slope in the west destroys knowledge and wealth, and slope in the south is supposed to bring diseases and death.

Land slope in the north brings monetary profit, slope in northeast (Eeshan) increases knowledge, slope in the east brings prosperity and comfort, slope in the Vayavya causes jealousy and fear from fire, slope in south causes

death, slope in Nairitya causes monetary loss, slope in west causes loss of children, and slope in Aaganeya causes undesired migration, depression in the centre is much inauspicious and ominous.

While selecting a plot due precautions should be taken about the slope of the land. Land is divided into four categories on the basis of slope of the

surface :-

2. Land elevated in the middle and slope in four direc-tions is called Koorma Prishtha (Tortoise like surface).

This provides prosperity, boosts courage and provides comfort.

3. Land elevated in east , north -east ,southeast and depressed in west is called Daitya- Prishtha (Demon

like surface).

Residents upon such will suffer loss of wealth, sons and cattle.

4. Longer from east to west, elevated in north-south and depressed in the centre is called Naag.

Prishtha (Snake like surface). Residing on such a land causes mental diseases, death and enemity. This is harmful for wife and children.

In brief it can be said that the plot we choose must be highest in (Nairitya) South-West corner and the lowest in (Eeshan) North-East corner. (Vayavya) North West corner must be higher than (Eeshan) North East corner and (Aagneya) South East corner must be higher than (Vayavya) North West corner. Residents of such a plot will enjoy a life of comfort, prosperity and progress.
