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

With the exception of the roof which is with the smallest height, all other types of roofs
are suitable to the Deities. With the exception of the roof whose height is equal to half the
distance between the consoles, all other types of roofs are suitable for human beings. The eight
heights for the rafter works corresponding to these roofs, the first of which is Avantika,
go from 10 to 17 parts(of the height of the selected type of roof), the increment being
one part at each time. These rafters are called by different names corresponding to these
eight heights. The names are: Vyamisra, Kalinga, Kausika, Varata, Dravida, Barbara,
Kolluka and Saundika. These roofs of the buildings intended for the Deities, monks
and mendicants living in the hermitages may be in the shape of square, circular, hexagonal,
octagonal, dodecagonal, sixteen-sided or in the shape of a lotus bud or of a myrobolan fruit
or it may be elliptical or spherical .
