The upapi't'ha should be beautified with the depictions of lion, elephant, makara, vyala, groups
of dwarfs and petals. Its each side should be depicted with jhas"a'la ( a kind of crocodile) having its
head mounted on by a young boy. Be it with or without the aisle, it should be provided with the
figures of fish all around. The parts and sub-parts of the upapi't'ha may be increased or decreased
according to the context. 4,5, 6, 7 or 8 parts or 2 or 3 parts – all of these are to be considered for the
pleasant designing of the pedestal. Adhering to the good aspects and omitting the inauspicious
allocation of the parts, the pedestal(upapi't'ha) which is considered to be the first member
of the building should be designed.
