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

O, the foremost Preceptors!, having divided the width of the gopura into 20 equal parts, the
architect should take form one part to 18 parts as the width of the projection. This projection
may be constructed either outside the enclosing wall or inside the enclosing wall.

Increasing the measure of one and a half hasta by 6 digits each time to reach 5 hastas, increasing
the measure of one and three fourth hasta by 9 digits each time to reach 7 hastas, increasing the
measure of 2 hastas by 12 digits each time to reach 9 hastas – by these calculations, another
set of the length of the dvara gopuras could be obtained. The fifteen measures obtained should
be decided according to the three categories – adhama, madhyama and uttama. The height of
the gopura could be obtained by dividing the width of the dvara gopura by 12 and taking 5 parts,
7 parts and 10 parts. By this 3 kinds of height are available. Twice the width, twice the width
exceeding by one quarter – these are the two measures for the height. Thus, the height
obtainable is of 5 kinds.
