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

Starting from 2 hastas and reaching up to 16 hastas, increasing by one hasta each time,
15 meausres are available. From these 15 measures, width belonging to the foremost, medium
and lower category and applicable to the five gopuras from the dvara sobha to dvara gopura
could be decided. Starting from 3 hastas, the architect should increase the measure by 2 hastas
each time to reach up to 31 hastas. As before, 15 measures are availble and these should
be taken for the five types of gopuras considered in three categories – uttama, madhyama and
adhama.

Starting from 9 hastas and increasing by 2 hastas each time so as to go up to 37 hastas,
15 measures are available for the five types of gopuras to be considered in three modes, uttama
and others. Starting from 15, 16 and 17 hastas, the measure should be increased by one hasta
each time to have five measures in each(15 to 19, 16 to 20 and so on). Out of three sets of
five measures, one set may be taken for the five gopuras.
