One part should be left out in the exterior side. The remaining portion should be again
left out in the inner side and in the central space a chamber should be built. In the
multi storeyed building, the upper floors should be with proportionate measures
corresponding to those of the ground floor.

The proportionate measures of the base(adhis"t'ha'na) and of the supporting pillars
may be with a corresponding decrease of small measure. Based on the modified
measure, the proportionate measures of secondary base(upa pi't'ha) or of the
top segment of the base are to be derived..
