(5) . . . Toraṇaṁ vakshyate'dhunā ।
Prishṭhe tu pārśvayoś chaiva kartavyās toraṇās tathā ॥
Dvārasyotsedha-mānaṁ yat toraṇsyochchhrayaṁ bhavet ।
Tad-ardhaṁ vistaraṁ proktam uchchhrāye shad-vibhājite ॥
Makaraṁ tu dv(i)yaṁśena śeshaṁ pādam iti smṛitam ।
Mūla-pādasya ckārdhena tasya pāda-pramāṇakam ॥
Makarāṁśaṁ tad-ūrdhve tu madhye vṛittaṁ sa-nimnakam ।
Vṛitter ūrdhve uhāṁ kṛitvā ckatur-āyatam eva tu ॥
Pramāṇaṁ toraṇasyoktaṁ prastaraṁ cha tataḥ śṛiṇu ॥
(*Suprabhedāgama*, xxxi, 68–72.)
