काष्टाढ्यमदृढं सूय बहुशिल्पयुतं बुधे । चित्रयुक्तं नवं शुक्रे दृढे रम्ये गुरौ गृहम् ॥ ८७ ॥
kāṣṭāḍhyamadṛḍhaṃ sūya bahuśilpayutaṃ budhe | citrayuktaṃ navaṃ śukre dṛḍhe ramye gurau gṛham || 87 ||
સૂર્યના પ્રભાવમાં ઘર કાષ્ઠસમૃદ્ધ હોય છે પરંતુ બહુ દૃઢ નથી; બુધના પ્રભાવમાં અનેક શિલ્પોથી યુક્ત; શુક્રના પ્રભાવમાં નવું અને ચિત્રોથી અલંકૃત; અને ગુરુના પ્રભાવમાં દૃઢ તથા રમ્ય ગૃહ બને છે।

It frames household life as part of dharma guided by Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa—showing that material outcomes (stability, beauty, craftsmanship) arise from cosmic order, encouraging disciplined, sattvic decision-making rather than randomness.
Indirectly: by aligning one’s actions (like building a home) with dharmic and cosmic principles, a devotee maintains order and purity in worldly duties, supporting a steady mind fit for Vishnu-bhakti and spiritual practice.
Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa applied to outcomes of construction: the verse links planetary influence (Sūrya, Budha, Śukra, Guru) with observable qualities of a dwelling—useful for selecting auspicious timing/conditions in traditional practice.
