- Mansion verse
- Do not build tall houses under Rooftop: punishment, hanging and bloodshed are foretold. Within three years children meet danger in water, and young people who leave home never return. Burial on this day is said to take an elder within a hundred days or a year. Grief returns within two or three years, and opening a door or releasing water leads to court.
