Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts

Diksiddhilakṣaṇa (दिक्सिद्धिलक्षण) (lit. “concerning the determination of the directions”) is the name of chapter 3 of the Pauṣkarasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text of almost 5900 verses divided into forty-three chapters presented as a frame-work dialogue between Pauṣkara and Bhagavān dealing with the esoteric meaning of maṇḍala-designs, worship routines and temple-building.—Description of the chapter [diksiddhilakṣaṇa]: The maṇḍala should be located somewhere near the centre of the plot selected as determined by peg-and-string compass measurements. Elaborate and complicated instructions are given for determining the precise location according to the directions (1-35, 48-60). Different rules are incidentally given in regard to the planning out of a town, the setting up of a temple, etc. (36-47). Various deities are then invoked to reside within certain designs [pādma] drawn near the centre of the plot, and in the very centre irself Viśvarūpa is to reside as “Oṃ”. Customary worship with mantras is thereupon to be done (61-96).
