Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
The newly built household dwelling, ritually established, blessed with firm posts and roof-beams, and consecrated for steadfast heroes and offspring.
O Lord of the Dwelling, recognize us;
May the gods grant shelter to this house;
may your roof-beams be firm, O divine house.
Kātyāyana Smṛti
A dwelling, treated as immovable property subject to both boundary-dispute procedures and inheritance partition rules.
Visible property such as a house, a field, and quadrupeds should be divided.
When fathers and brothers take the entire mass of property in equal shares, that is called a righteous partition.
In disputes concerning fields, houses, ponds, wells, gardens, and dams, the neighbors are the proof in all matters.
