‘The principal variations made in the design of the Zedi (*chaitya*) are those of the relative proportion of the bell to the east of the structure, the outline of the same and its superstructure, and the decoration employed. Thus in the Lokānanda Pagoda in Pagān, built by Anauraḥtā in 1059, the bell is of immense size, being three-sevenths of the total height of the structure, including the triple base and finial.’⁴
