The measure of one grid along the length of the house is to be divided into 4 or 5
parts and one part should be taken to be the width of the pillar. Or, the measure of
one grid along the width of the house may also be taken for deciding the width of the
pillar in this way. As an alternative, the total number of hsstas for the width of the
house may be taken to be the total number of angulas and this should be taken as the
width of the pillar. Thus, the proportionate width of the pillar should be decided for
the people of all castes.
