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

The width of the main shrine(garbha gruha) should be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times the width
of the pedestal. The thickness of the wall should be three parts out of the total parts
of the main shrine.

The thickness of the wall of the main shrine may also be half, one, two, three times
the width of the pedestal. Or, the thickness of the wall may be determined from
the dimension of the diagonal of the pedestal.

Based on the same dimensions, the assemblage of the parts of the pedestal should be
done. Based on the width of the pedestal, the dimension of the main shrine of the temple
should be kept in odd number. If the pedestal consists of even number of parts, the
dimension of the main shrine should also be in even number. Or, if the dimension of
the main shrine is in even number, the parts of the pedestal should also be in even
number. Mixing of even number and odd number of dimensions and parts should
never be done.
