v1.c6.167

“In a Tamil fragment of a manuscript, purporting to be a translation of Māyāmata (?Mayamata), it is said—‘The height of the shaft or pillar is to be divided into four parts, and one to be given to the base, which may or may not be accompanied by a pedestal; and in the *case* where a pedestal is joined to the base, the height of the pedestal may be either equal to that of the base, or twice or three times as much’”. (Rām Rāz. “Ess. Arch. of Hind.” p. 26).
