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

In an edifice dedicated to a God, the height of the door may be one out of nine parts, one out
of eight parts or one out of seven parts of the total height of the pillar. The width of the door
should be half of its height.
नालीगेहं त्रिभागैकं अर्धं वा नवपञ्चभाक् ।
पञ्चत्रिंशद्‍भवेत्तुङ्गं इदं वैशेषिकं भवेत् ।। १६

pan"catrims'adbhavet tun'gam idam va's'es"ikam bahvet॥ 16
In the case of inner chamber, if the height of the pillar is divided into 25 equal parts, the
height of the door may be one third, half or 5 parts out of 9 parts. Such dimension is considered
to be of special category.

The width may be taken as explained before. Or, another method of arriving at the width is also
now told. Width is to be held as 3 vitasti(1vitasti = angulas) and length to be held as 7 vitasti. In an
increased way, width may be 6 vitasti and the length 12 vitasti. Again, this may be increased
by 3, 5 and 6 vitastis. There are 25 kinds of measures for the legth and the height of the door.
Measures mentioned first are applicable to the recumbent type of forms. For the houses
12 kinds of measures are available.
