A Niṣkuṭa hole will bring loss of wealth, a Kolākṣa hole will bring the min of the family; a Sūkara hole will bring fear and injury from weapons, and a Vatsanābha hole will bring suffering from disease.
कालकधुन्धुकसंज्ञं कीटैर्विद्धं च न शुभदं छिद्रम् । सर्वं ग्रन्थिप्रचुरं सर्वत्र न शोभनं दारु ॥ ७९-३७ ॥
Kālaka and Dhundhuka holes as well as a hole caused by worms will not conduce to prosperity; if the holes be in knotty parts, the wood is fit for no purpose.
If the cot, seat and the like be made of one wood of fruit trees, there will be gain of wealth; if of two sorts of wood there will be great gain of wealth, if of three, sons will increase, and if of four, the person will become wealthy and famous.
If the cot be made of five different sorts of wood of fruit trees, the person sleeping on it will meet with death; and if it be made of six, seven or eight different sorts of wood, his family will suffer ruin.
