Now I will impart the directions for the construction of stables for elephants and other
animals in due order with all specific details. Starting from 3 hastas and increasing by
half a hasta successively, the maximum measure could be reached to 5 hastas. Thus, the
partition-based(bhitti ma'na) measure is of five kinds. The stable of elephants should be
designed by the highly skilled architect based on bhitti-ma'na.

According to proportion-based measure(bhakti ma'na), the breadth may be of 6 parts and
the length may be of 9 parts. Or, the breadth may be of 4 parts or 7 parts and the length
is to be arrived at proportionately.
