This is said to be ten storeyed bulding whose ceiling should be associated with
rajju sutra. Above this tenth floor are the eleventh storey and twelfth storey. In this
way, the architect may construct upto sixteen storeys.

Of various types of s'a'la' buildings, the first one is sarvatobhadra; vardhama'naka
is the second; savstika is the third; nandyavarta is the fourth; caruka is the fifth. These
are the specific names of s'a'la' buildings.

The s'a'la' building associated with 8 frontispieces or facades(a'sya) is called
sarvatobhadra; associated with 4 frontispieces is called vardhama'na; associated with
six facades in the south and the north is called svastika. That which is provided with 4
facades in its two sides and in its front is considered to be nandya'varta. The specific
construction in square design without the intersection of cross beams is known as
caruka and it is of significant importance everywhere.

The first four types of building are good for the people of all castes. Caruka type of
building is specifically recommended for the rulers of the country. It is also fit for
the presence of the deities. It is also fit for the brahmins and for the monks of hetrodox
systems.

In all the places fit for construction as said before, either in a portion of a s'a'la',
verandah or in the bigger corridor lying outside, pavilion-like halls are to be constructed
interspaced evenly around the house. In the front side of the row of buildings also
which look like a garland, pavilion-like halls are to be constructed.

ekabha'gam sama'rabhya va'savya'sa sama'vadhi।
a'ya'mastvams'a vr'ddhya' tu vista'ro va'satassamah॥ 95
Starting from one part and reaching upto the full breadth of the house, the length of the
building is to be increased gradually part by part. Or, the length may be equal to the
breadth of the house also.

Reducing the parts one by one upto three parts from the breadth,the proportionate
measures of the pavilion to be built in the first storey, second storey, third storey,
fourth storey and fifth storey are to be derived. Such pavilion should be built
in the front portion also.

ekabha'gam sama'rabhya pa'dabha'ga vivr'ddhitah /
pan"cabha'ga vasa'na'ntam kuryad a'vr'ta man.d'apam // 98
In the house constructed in this way, the architect should construct the pavilions in all
directions with equal intervals. Starting from one part, increasing one fourth of a
part each time and reaching the maximum width of five parts, the surrounding open-hall
should be constructed to form like an enclosure.

pan"cadas'a kara'ntam tu kuryad a'vr'ta man.d'apam // 99
Or, the width may be held in terms of hasta also. The width should be from 3 hastas
to 15 hastas, the increment being half a hasta each time. With the width derived in this
way, the enclosing open-hall should be constructed.

Or, the construction of enclosing hall may be left out. Instead, a raised platform
(pi't'ha) may be constructed with the same measures. The garland-like building
(ma'lika') should be constructed by the wise architect either associated with or
not associated with portico.

In all the directions around the s'a'las, projection should be provided whose length
should be from one part to eight parts, the increment being one fourth of a part each
time. Or, the length may be twice its width. The central enclosure is to be built with the
same length and breadth.

O, the twice-borns!, the house may be built so as to be associated with central
enclosure or it may be without such central enclosure. The enclosure building
(khalu'rika')should be constructed around the house raised in this way.
