Beginning with one and half hasta and increasing this by 3 angulas each time, the
height of the pillar should be upto 9 hastas. The circumference of the pillar is to be
from 3 angulas to 30 angulas, increasing the measure by 4 angulas each time. The
height of the pillar is to be divided into 4 parts to 16 parts according to the proportion
of the pillar. The circumference at the top of the pillar shoul be less than one such part.
In this way, the proportionate measures of the height and circumference of the pillars
of the upper storeys are to be determined.

The wise architect should design the enrablature(prastara) in proportion to the measure
of half of the height of the pillar. This half height is to be divided into 9 equal parts and
by adding one part to 4 parts to this half-height or reducing one part to 4 parts from
