Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
The newly built household dwelling, ritually established, blessed with firm posts and roof-beams, and consecrated for steadfast heroes and offspring.
O wife of the house-master, may the heroes approach you with steadfast limbs, steadfast people, and steadfast dwelling.
O wife of the house-master, take pleasure in the oblation, of him whose end is keen and whose middle is copious.
May we, with unharmed heroes, approach together this house, the best of good things.
Kātyāyana Smṛti
A dwelling, treated as immovable property subject to both boundary-dispute procedures and inheritance partition rules.
In disputes concerning fields, houses, ponds, wells, gardens, and dams, the neighbors are the proof in all matters.
Visible property such as a house, a field, and quadrupeds should be divided.
For fields, wells, and ponds, and for irrigated fields and gardens, and for houses, palaces, dwellings, and the houses of kings and gods.
