2. One day is assigned for a "dvirekhā" (a position with two auspicious points), and half a day for a "trirekhā" (a position with three points). For positions with auspicious points equal to the Vedas (which means four points), seven and a half days are traditionally assigned.

ṣaḍ-varṣam sapta-rekhāsu vasavaḥ aṣṭāsu vatsarāḥ
3. Two years are for positions with five auspicious points. For six points, four years are allotted. Six years are given for seven points, and eight years (the number of Vasus) for eight auspicious points.
