Whichever benefit could not be obtained by doing sacrificial rites, could be got by the erection of an abode (for the god). He who erects an abode for the god reaps fruits of bathing in all holy waters.
Even the making of a temple by perfidy with dust one would reach heaven. It gets more benefits than those (got) being slain in the battle.
One who builds one temple goes to heaven. One who builds three temples goes to the world of Brahmā. The builder of five abodes reaches the world of Śambhu (Śiva). By building eight abodes one remains in the world of Hari.
