Starting with the height of one danda(rod or pole) for the base of the building with twelve
storeys and decreasing by six angulas for each storey below up to the three storeyed building,
the height of the base pertaining to the foremost type of three storeyed building could be
arrived at one and three fourth hasta. For the greater buildings as well as for the smaller buildings,
the height of the base should be calculated in the same way.

If the height of the base is 5 hastas, the height of the plinth should be 32 angulas. Or, the
height of the plinth may be from 30 angulas to 38 angulas, increasing the height by 2
angulas successively. The width of the plinth should be 13 angulas. If the height of the
base is from 6 hastas to 10 hastas, the height of the plinth should be 31 angulas. If the height
of the base is 14 hastas, the height of the plinth should be 39 angulas. In those houses in
which the height of the base is 3 hastas or 4 hastas, the height of the plinth should be
calculated and ascertained in the same way.
