v1.c6.169
According to the “Mānasāra” (XXI, 13; see below) and the “Suprabhedāgama” (XXXI, quoted above) the base is half of the pillar (pāda). The “Kāmikāgama” does not give exact proportion but says (XXXV, 114; see above) that the tala (the lowest part or the pedestal and the base) is a little less (kiṁchid ūna) than the pillar or shaft (pāda).
