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

जातौ जातिकराणां तु अन्यस्यापि च सद्मनः।

This scheme of proportionate measures is applicable to the jati, chanda, vikalpa and abhasa
categories of temples. But this orderly scheme need not be observed for the sarvadesika category
of the temple. For the jati category, the hasta-unit belonging to the jati type should be taken.
Similarly for the temples of all other categories, the applicable hasta-unit should be used. Half
part, one out of three parts, one out of four parts, 2 parts – in this way, the interspace of the four
enclosures could be obtained for the sama marga and anu marga temples belonging to the nagara
and other kinds. For the maha marga temple belonging to the nagara and other kinds, the width
of the temple, one and one fourh of this width or three fourth of this width may be taken as
the basic for arriving at the sets of interspace of the enclosures. Or, the enclosures for these
temples may be designed based on the hasta-unit as explained before.
अयं विभागो नास्त्येव प्रासादे सार्वदेशिके।
पञ्चषण्मुनिसालेऽपि चाष्टनन्द वृत्तौ तथा॥ २०
हस्तैः पादैः समन्तात्तु वर्धयेत्पूर्व मानतः।
