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

There may be 5, 7, 9 or 11 rafters or there may be 4, 6, 8 or 10 rafters. Thus, there are
four types for the arrangement of the rafters possible for the buildings suitable for the
Deities as well as men. The interior height given above in two modes is that of Pushkara
which is also called Vyamisra. The pushkaras should be set above and below the middle
of the roof. Starting with a half of that height and increasing up to the maximum, they should
be set upward and downward. This is the secret which has now been disclosed.

A square area should be marked out, the width of which should be half of the distance
between the consoles and which should be delimited by thick lines called ka, ushnisha,
asana and sima.

Below the asana line, a parallel line should be drawn at a distance equal to the projection
of the consoles in relation to the arechitrave of the attic. Points should be marked on the
asana line so as to divide it into 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 parts.
