Its perimeters and dimensions of its rooms will illustrate several of the prescribed proportions, *śāntika* (peaceful), *paushṭika* (prosperous), *jayada* (progressive), *sarvakāmika* (fulfilling all desires), and *adbhuta* (wonderful).² Similarly the *Mānasāra* pillars, entablatures doors, windows, verandahs, balconies, platforms, courtyards, and boundary walls may demonstrate the harmony of the whole composition.
