If the width of the main temple is divided into three equal parts, one part is considered to be
one grid(pada). Keeping the pada as the basic unit, the interspcae of the first enclosure should be
held to be 2 padas and the that of the second enclosure to be 3 padas from the first enclosure.
In an increasing pattern, interspace of the first enclosure 3 padas and that of the second enclosure
4 padas. Interspace of the first enclosure 4 padas and that of the second enclosure 5 padas. The
interspace of the first enclosure 5 padas and that of the second enclosure 6 padas. In this way,
two enclosures may be formed with four different sets of interspace. Next, the designing of the
three enclosure is explained.

If the width of the temple is divided into 4 equal parts, one part is considered to be one pole
(danda). The interspace of the first, the second and the third enclosure may be 2, 3 and 4 poles
respectively; or, 3,4 and 5 poles; or, 4, 5 and 6 poles; or 5, 6 and 7 poles; or 6, 7 and 8 poles.
In this way, three enclosures are formed with 5 different sets of interspace. O, the twice-born
Sages!, now listen to the designing of four enclosures.
