(7) Śilpaśāstra-sārasaṁgraha (VII. 24): Chatur-dvāraṁ chatur-dikshu chaturaṁ (?) cha gavākshakam । Nṛipāṇāṁ bhavane śreshṭham anyatra parivarjayet ॥ 'It is highly commendable for the buildings of the kings to make four doors at four directions and four windows. This rule need not be observed in other cases.'
