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

Thus, the hasta-based system has been told. Then, the system based on division is now
explained. Starting from one hasta and increasing by three angulas successively,
the width is to be determined. Increasing the width by two and a half angulas,
to start with, the length is to be arrived at , twice the width being the maximum.
Increasing the width of one part or division by half the measure of the main unit, the
length may be held to the maximum of thrice the width. The division based system is to
be applied width-wise and the length-wise.

The division based units are to be applied symmetrically to the width and the length.
Such division based units should be congruent to the main units. They may be in odd
number or they may be taken as desired by the Master of the building. And they may be
in even number or odd number aligned eather with the length or the width.

These units of division may be applied to the inerior measure of the hall or to the
exterior measure of the hall or to the measure between the interior and the exterior. Or,
to the height of the lowest part of the building.
