: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions (architecture)础艣惫补辫腻诲补 (啶呧ざ啷嵿さ啶ぞ啶�) refers to the 鈥渇oot of a horse鈥�, according to the Devy膩mata (in the section 艣补濒测辞诲诲丑腻谤补-辫补峁璦濒补 or 鈥渆xcavation of extraneous substances鈥�).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] If [someone] scratches his toe, [the officiant] should prognosticate a foot of a horse (补艣惫补p膩da鈥敳古洷共贡枘寤宀贯箖 vinirdi艣et) [beneath the site]. It exists at a depth of one and a half vitastis. There is no doubt regarding this. If [someone] scratches his little toe, [the officiant] should prognosticate a piece of bell-metal [beneath] the spot. That [extraneous thing] exists [at a depth of] eight digits [underground]. There is no doubt about it. [...]鈥�.
Note: A foot of a horse (补艣惫补辫腻诲补峁�) is supported by Ms. B and Ms. A reads 补峁ａ弓补辫腻诲补峁� (a spider). Since the omen is scratching the toe, an extraneous thing related to the foot might be better.
