A coconut set on a small water-filled clay kalash at the Parjanya pad, with the water poured into tulsi and refilled daily, activates Parjanya; when the coconut sprouts, the devta is awake.
Burying crystal quartz points or slices at the Parjanya pad exactly five angul below the surface, touching the soil, restores production and removes obstacles in work.
A small turmeric plant, or better a daru haldi plant, kept in a pot at the Parjanya pad captures the sun's energy and releases it all day, bringing riddhi, siddhi, prosperity and happiness.
A daily havan of makhana (kamal gatta) with desi cow ghee at the Parjanya pad, begun on one's own nakshatra day and continued for 45 days, develops fertility in couples who cannot conceive.
A garland of makhana strung on thread and a picture of a cow suckling its calf, kept at the Parjanya pad, treat poor production and poor results in education.
When a door falls on the Parjanya pad (E2), the same Om and swastik symbol taught as the special treatment for Shikhi is made at that spot.
A silver Om with a swastik on the floor of the Shikhi pad spreads the energy of Om through the house; Om stands for Jupiter and silver for the Moon, the two planets of this devta.
A picture of bright white gandharva nagar clouds, cloud formations that look like palaces, hung at the Parjanya pad fulfils plans and wishes and treats a dosh at E2 without other changes.
The elephant (Airavat, the many-trunked mount of Indra) is the symbol of Mahendra; an elephant placed at E4 brings the devta to sit there and give results.
A havan of elaichi (cardamom) at the Mahendra pad, or elaichi tied in a green potli and hung there, supports the success, happiness and peace given by Indra dev.
The special treatment of Jayant: a round silver symbol of two moons joined into a full moon with a swastik engraved, placed at E3; for a major E3 dosh a silver tortoise is buried there.
The special treatment of Mahendra is a silver moon engraved with a swastik (and the marks drawn in class), hung at the E4 pad at its time while the chandra swar flows with water or earth tatva.
The tree of Jayant is sandalwood; since it cannot be grown in a pot, plant tulsi at E3 and stand a small sandalwood stick in the pot so the fragrance spreads through the house.
The vajra, the weapon of Indra, hung at the Mahendra pad or buried in its ground removes obstacles and demonic influences blocking happiness, prosperity and work.
When Mercury and Jupiter sit together and both are benefic, a painting of a lion (babbar sher) in the North, North-East or East-North-East gives the power to rule and dominance in one's field.
The vajra dand or mudgar, the mace (gada) of Hanuman ji, drives away all negativity; keeping a gada or its portrait in the ENE gives relief in court cases and brings government help.
A lion scenery placed from NNE to East helps settle revenue and government work and gives authority.
Tulsi absorbs the rays of the sun and, because of its mercury content, spreads that energy through the whole house, which is why tulsi pots are kept in the zones from North-East to East.
Havan ahutis of dried chameli (jasmine) and mogra flowers at the Mahendra pad spread their fragrance through the house and activate Mahendra devta.
Grow a lotus in water in a small kund or an earthen pot at the Mahendra pad; a lotus that grows, blooms fully and spreads fragrance shows Mahendra is active.
A small silver moon fixed on the E3 wall with a 1-inch kesar swastik drawn just below it activates Jayant devta; a chhatra can be added.
Each of the 32 outer devtas holds a 45-minute period of sadhana, so together they complete the 24 hours. Havan, offerings and jaap done in a devta's own period wake and activate it quickly.
The state of Parjanya is read from how far a dab of original chandan spreads its fragrance, whether yellow mustard burnt at the pad throws sparks at you, and how well the plants of the house grow.
Perform a ghee havan; if the ghee fragrance spreads through the whole house, Jayant devta is active.
Chanting the Parjanya devta mantra on a silver or gold mala, facing East between 3:00 and 3:45 am, raises productivity and balances the energy of the pad.
Parjanya, the cloud and rain devta (megh, badal) at E2 next to Shikhi, brings rain, productivity and fertility and fulfils plans and wishes like a kalpavriksha. It is the doctor of crops, people and animals.
Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.
Mahendra (Indra), the fourth devta of the East, is the king, sustainer and administrator who brings the energy of the planets, Sun, Moon and 27 nakshatras to earth and spreads it evenly through the house. It gives control over the mind and senses, right decisions, government support, contacts, name and fame.
The energy that arrives about 48 minutes before sunrise in the East-North-East fills one with joy and playfulness, so this is the zone of recreation and fun; sitting there lifts a low mood.
The three zones from North-East to East receive pure energy that must collect and stay, so they are kept low, open to the sky and free of dirt, toilets, high walls and heavy objects, with a part left unpaved (kachcha) for a garden or lawn.
