ayaṁ vibhāgo nāstyeva prāsāde sārvadeśike।
pañcaṣaṇmunisāle'pi cāṣṭananda vṛtau tathā॥ 20
hastaiḥ pādaiḥ samantāttu vardhayetpūrva mānataḥ।
This scheme of proportioning is not applicable to the temples belonging to the sarvadesika type.
Even for the five, six, seven, eight and nine enclosures, the interspace of each enclosure may be
obtained by hasta and pada units and by adding one unit to the previous set of unit.
समं तु चतुरश्रं तत्पूर्वं कृत्वा ततः परम्॥ २१
कल्पयेत्तु मुखायामं देवस्याभिमुखं यथा।
पृष्ठे वा कल्पयेत्पार्श्वे पुरातन विमानके॥ २२
नूतने वा प्रकर्तव्यं स्थानसंकट संयुते।
samaṁ tu caturaśraṁ tatpūrvaṁ kṛtvā tataḥ param॥ 21
kalpayettu mukhāyāmaṁ devasyābhimukhaṁ yathā।
pṛṣṭhe vā kalpayetpārśve purātana vimānake॥ 22
nūtane vā prakartavyaṁ sthānasaṁkaṭa saṁyute।
First, the enclosure should be designed to be with equal sides so as to be in the form of square.
Then, the rectangular enclosure should be designed so as to be in front of the main shrine. In
the case of old temple, such rectangular exitension may be in the back side or in the left or
right side of the temple. Rectangular enclosure should be provided even for the newly built
temple if it is associated with multiple sub-shrines.
