कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

The pillars which should be free from cavities and holes are to be erected leaving an
interspace evenly between them. In the rooms of the outer belt, two pillars or five
pillars in each may be erected as desired by the Master.
धनक्षयो मन्दवेधे तीव्रस्स्याद् ऋणबन्धनम् ।
त्रिचूली वैश्य शूद्राणां पञ्च सप्त महीभृताम् ।। १६०

If there is the defect of vedha caused by the position of Saturn, in the process of
erecting the pillars, the Master will suffer the loss of wealth. If there is the defect
of adhica'ra caused by the position of Saturn, then the Master will be entangled
in debts. For the vaisyas and sudras, there should be three tuft-like motifs(capitals)
on the top of the building. For the kshatriyas, there should be 5 or 7 tuft-like motifs.

For the brahmins, there may be 5, 7, or 11 tuft-like motifs. For the monks belonging
to the heterodox systems, the tuft-like motifs should be in even number.
