The socle (pīṭha) where present, is a solid substructure, the upper surface of which forms the floor of the building. The crypt may be within the socle or base or extend below the outside ground level. The Pīṭha, where present, is piled on top of the completely filled in, solidly, or by cells, originally excavated site of the entire building. This is the general practice and the texts corroborate it.
