The matrangula measurement is applicable to the icons to be kept in the home shrines. The
yava-based measurement is applicable only to the icons of small size. Apart from these
measurements, there is one factor known as jatyamsa which is caste-based. The obtained
measurement of the proposed icon should be divided into 84, 62, 24 and 16 equal parts
and one part out of these should be added to the obtained height, for the brahmins, kshatriyas,
vaisyas and sudras respectively. The unit added in this way is known as jatyamsa. If the
total height(obtained height added with jatyamsa) is multiplied by 8 and divided by 27, the
remainder denotes the star of that height. If this is compatible to the star of the owner, then
it is held that the total height obtained will yield auspicious benefits to brahmin and others.
For the icons which are with the height measured in three types of angulas , this jatyamsa need not
be added.

If the measurement recommended for auspiciousness is not added with the measurements
of capital city, village and others, such negligence would result in inauspicious effects. The
height should be divided by the multiples of 10; then , 5 parts, 6 parts or 1 part out of these
