v4.c29.s5.118
The *Gārga-saṁhitā* deals with a large number of purely architectural subjects, namely courts, compounds, compartments, rooms, and dimensions and situation of doors in houses. The *Sūrya-siddhānta*, the *Siddhānta-śiromaṇi* and the *Līlāvatī* deal in detail with a technical matter, namely the gnomons which are used for finding out cardinal points in connection with the orientation of buildings.²
