Thus, the measurements for the width of the building have heen told. Now, I will speak
on the measurements for the length. One fourth, half and three fourth of the starting
measure , twice the staring measure – in this way the length is to be increased. Then,one
fourth , half, three fourth should be added futher and the maximum of thrice the
starting measure is to be reached. Thus, there are eight kinds of length available for
the main buildings.

Length which is thrice the width is applicable to the buildings meant for the deities. For
human beings, length should be twice the width. Various lengths from twice the width
to twice and three fourth of the width are applicable to the monks living in the buddhist
monasteries and hermitages. In a place where all classes of people live together, length
which is twice the width is applicable.
