According to the *Mānasāra* (xxi, 13, *see* below) and the *Suprabhedāgama* (xxxi, quoted above) the base is half of the pillar (pāda). The *Kāmikāgama* does not give exact proportion, but says (xxxv, 114, *see* above) that the tala (the lowest part, or the pedestal and the base) is a little less (kiṁchid ūna) than the pillar or shaft (pāda).
