कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

Having divided the width of the main shrine into eight equal parts, the Sthapati should leave out
one part and divide the remaining width into 12 equal parts. Based on this measure, he should
construct the pavilioins on both sides of the shrine. In this case, the main shrine becomes known
as ‘the pure one’. These should be provided with corridor and entrance according to the
proportionated measures.
अग्रमण्डपं ईदृक्स्यात् प्रासाद समतुङ्गकम्।
स्वायंभुवादि लिङ्गे तु न्यूनं वाप्यधिकं तु वा ॥ ९
तद्वत्तस्य तलं चाथ भित्तिहीनं तु वा मतम्।
विवृतस्तम्भ संयुक्तं न चेद्द्वारं तदग्रके॥ १०
agramaṇḍapaṁ īdṛksyāt prāsāda samatuṅgakam|

tadvattasya talaṁ cātha bhittihīnaṁ tu vā matam|
vivṛtastambha saṁyuktaṁ na ceddvāraṁ tadagrake|| 10
The front-pavilion whose height is equal to that of the main shrine is of such characteristics.
For the main shrines belonging to the self-manifest linga and such other types of lingas, the
height of the pavilion may be increased or decreased. Similarly, the pavilion may be without
the enclosing wall or without upper structure. If the pavilion is not provoded with window-jambs,
then an entance should be provided at its front.
