Kapota-pālikā grahaṇena bahir nirgatā mukhāni kāshṭhāny uchyante—by the acceptation of Kapota-pāli, the projecting lion-face timbers (mouldings) are understood; (and also Viśvak, 6 767):
> Prāsādau nirgatau kāryau kapotau garbha-mānataḥ ।
> Ūrdhvaṁ bhitty-uchchhrayāt tasya mañjaraṁ tu prakalpayet ।
> Mañjaryās chārdha-bhāgena śuka-nāsaṁ prakalpayet ।
> Ūrdhvaṁ tathārdha-bhāgena vedi-bandho bhaved iha ।।
