The name of this chapter is *Bhūmilamba*, which literally means the height of the storey. The *Kāmikāgama* (*paṭala* 50, verse 1) defines this name, *Bhūmilamba*, thus: ‘*Chatur aṁśādi-saṁsthānaṁ bhūmi-lambam iti smṛitam*.’ The chapters on the subject, in both the works, *Mānasāra* and *Kāmikāgama*, deal with the measurement of length, breadth, and height of buildings of one to twelve storeys.
