‘A storey’s altitude is of 108 digits according to Maya, but Viśvakarman pronounces it to be of three cubits and a half (i.e. 84 digits). As to this, however, able architects have declared that (in reality) there is no discrepancy of opinion, for, if you add the height of the crown-work (kapotapāli) the smaller number will equal (the greater).’—Dr. Kern.
