For the construction of a complex consisting of 9 main buildings, the planned ground
should be divided into 11 parts in the width side and 13 parts in the length side. Four main
buildings are to be built around the bordering belt, each one occupying one part. Within this
catus's'a'la', a complex of 5 main buildings(pan"ca s'a'la') is to be built, each building
occupying one part. In the 2 parts left out in the middle, four courtyards are to be designed.
In the remaining one part on each side, two courtyards are to be designed.

In the next bigger sized complex of nine main buildings, there should be a width of 17 parts
and a length of 19 parts. In all the four directions, four main buildings are to be built in the
border, each one occupying one part. In the interior, a complex of five main buildings is to
be built, each one occupying one part. In the two parts left out around, six courtyards are
to be designed.

For the complex of nine main buildings, bigger than the previous one, 19 parts are for
the width and 21 parts are for the length. In all the four directions, four main buildings
are to be built, each one occupying 2 parts. In the interior, five main buildings(pan"ca
s'a'la') are to be built, each one occupying 2 parts. In the one part left out in between,
six courtyards are to be designed. Thus various patterns of nava s'a'la' have been told.
Now, the features of the complex consisting of 10 main buildings(das'a s'a'la') are told.

The width may be held from 5 parts to 9 nine parts and length should be twice the
ascertained width. Or, the length may be held as 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 parts. Alternately,
the length may also be taken as 12, 14. 16, 18 or 20 parts corresponding to the width of

5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 parts respectively. The main buildings , courtyards and other members
are to be designed as planned by the Master according to the directions prescribed earlier.
Such construction of a complex consisting of 10 main buildings is fit for the people of all
castes.

Keeping the directions set forth for the construction of single main building(eka s'a'la'),
specific building known as viha'ra should be built. The width of viha'ra-building starts from
21 parts and gets increased by 3 parts each time. The corresponding length should be twice
the width. On the whole, 20 kinds of measures are available for the width. The viha'ra
should be associated with halls, apartments, porch in the front side and corridor and
verandah either in the front- side or back-side. Or, it may be without corridor or verandah.

It should be provided with two facades and embellished with vestibule in the front side.
It may be with one storey, two or three storeys. The storey may or may not be provided
with halls and apartments. Such vihara-building should be beautified with all sorts of
ornamental constructions. This viha'ra-building is exclusively fit for the buddhists, jains
and others who follow the heterodox systems.

Now I will impart the directions for the construction of stables for elephants and other
animals in due order with all specific details. Starting from 3 hastas and increasing by
half a hasta successively, the maximum measure could be reached to 5 hastas. Thus, the
partition-based(bhitti ma'na) measure is of five kinds. The stable of elephants should be
designed by the highly skilled architect based on bhitti-ma'na.

According to proportion-based measure(bhakti ma'na), the breadth may be of 6 parts and
the length may be of 9 parts. Or, the breadth may be of 4 parts or 7 parts and the length
is to be arrived at proportionately.

mukhas'a'laika bhittissyat sa'rdha' va trigun.a'pi va' // 4
Or, the breadth may be of 3 parts and the corresponding length is to be 5 parts. The hall
at the front side should be designed in the measure of one partition. Or, it may be in the
measure of one and half or twice this measure.

The length side or the breadth side may be taken for positioning the back-door and the
front-door. The sleeping place for the elephant is to be in the south and it may be designed
with the proportion-based measure as desired by the architect or the owner.

The recommended trees for making the pillars of the elephant stable are: ra'ja'dana,
madhuka, kadara, kha'dira, tintrin.i', arjuna, stabaka, pihita, s'ami', juice-yielding
trees, padmaka and such others.

sa'la'stambho ime prokta' vit'apa'n'ga s'ikha'nvita'h /
Without taking into account the square measure at the base, the height of the pillar should
be 9, 8 or 7 hastas. The part of the base known as avaga'ha should be with a width of 6
angulas. This may be increased to 12 angulas, the measure of increment being one angula.
This measure is to be ascertained in such a way that the pillar gets strengthend. The pillars
should be provided with a specific member known as vitapa(dove-like design). Thus, the
details of the pillars have been told.

The breadth of the shackling post should be 12 angulas. By increasing one angula
successively, the maximum measure for the breadth should be 25 angulas. The top
portion of the post should be in the form of a parosal with an applicable width and
thickness.

Having divided the breadth into 5 equal parts, 3 parts should be left out in the back side.
One part out of 16 parts and one part out of 8 parts should be left out in the right side and
the left side respectively. In the remaining area, the successive rows of compartments
should be built with a height equal to the height of the pillar mentioned before. The
compound walls are to be built in proportion to the compartments and the additional
windows are to be designed all around.

The entablature of the pillars should be provided with a specific architectural member
known as gostana(spout) with a measure of one vitasti. It should be designed with a face
projecting outward. Such entablature is to be designed with strong woods only.

Counting from the house of elephant(gaja ra’s’i), the eighth and the twelfth house should
be abandoned by the experts in the construction of elephant-stable. Taking care to see that
such houses are absent in the ascertained the design, the well-skilled architect should
build the elephant stables.

The stables for horses are to be designed in the manner explained before based on the
proportion-based measure. Starting from 2 hastas, the breadth should be increased
successively to the maximum of 9 hastas. The horse-stable may be designed even by
partition-based measure. Such directions are for ascertaining the breadth. Now, the
process of ascertaining the length is told.

houses are to be abandoned in ascertaining the auspicious qualities of the stable and the
expert should take into account the favorable factors only.
