For the complex consisting of seven mail buildings, the planned ground should be divided
into nine parts. The central main building in the middle takes one part for its width. Two
courtyards are to be designed on its two sides with equal length and breadth. Two main
buildings are to be constructed on the side of these two courtyards, each one occupying
one part. By the side of these buildings, courtyard should be designed. Four main buildings
are to be built in the bordering belt, each one occupying one part. The complex of seven
main buildings should be constructed in this way. Such complex is fit for the deities,
brahmins and the kings. This type of complex may be designed in the modes of jati and
others based on the ascertained length.

Saptas'a'la' may be constructed in a different pattern. Holding 5 parts in width and 11
parts in length, the width of the courtyard and the main building is to be decided as said
earlier. The length of the courtyard should exceed the width by a small part.
