The enclosure building should be built in the larger edifices or mansions by the wise
architects. The height of the base should be equal to the length of the lowest member
of the building. The ground floor should be levelled with the base whose height
should be equal to the height of the upper storey of the primary main building. The
basement may be bereft of such levelled floor or may be with evenly spread floor
without reference to the base(adhis"t'ha'na).
