(5) ........Toraṇaṁ vakshyate'dhunā। Pṛishṭhe tu pārśvayoś chaiva kartavyās toraṇās tathā॥ Dvārasyotsedha-mānaṁ yat toraṇsyochchhrayaṁ bhavet। Tad-ardhaṁ vistaraṁ proktam uchchhrāye shaḍ-vibhājite॥ Makaraṁ tu dv(i)yaṁśena śeshaṁ pādam iti smṛitam। Mūla-pādasya chārdhena tasya pāda-pramāṇakam॥ Makarāṁśaṁ tad-ūrdhve tu madhye vṛittaṁ sa-nimnakaṁ। Vṛitter ūrdhve uhāṁ kṛitvā chatur-āyatam eva tu॥ Pramāṇaṁ toraṇasyoktaṁ prastaraṁ cha tataḥ śṛiṇu॥
