In the house constructed in this way, the architect should construct the pavilions in all
directions with equal intervals. Starting from one part, increasing one fourth of a
part each time and reaching the maximum width of five parts, the surrounding open-hall
should be constructed to form like an enclosure.
हस्तमानेन वा कुर्यात् त्रिहस्तादर्ध वृद्धितः ।
पञ्चदशकरान्तं तु कुर्यादावृत मण्डपम् ।। ९९

Or, the width may be held in terms of hasta also. The width should be from 3 hastas
to 15 hastas, the increment being half a hasta each time. With the width derived in this
way, the enclosing open-hall should be constructed.
मण्डपेन विना वापि तेन मानेन पीठिका ।
विभद्रा वा सभद्रा वा कर्तव्या मालिका बुधैः ।। १००
man.d'apena vina' va'pi tena ma'nena pi't'hika' /

Or, the construction of enclosing hall may be left out. Instead, a raised platform
(pi't'ha) may be constructed with the same measures. The garland-like building
(ma'lika') should be constructed by the wise architect either associated with or
not associated with portico.
