The height of the figure of Skanda, says the *Uttara-Kāmikāgama*, may vary from one-tenth to four-tenths of the height of that of Śiva; and according to the *Kāraṇāgama* one-eighth to a quarter of the height of Śiva. The *Śilparatna* states that it should be as high as the bent hand or the breasts of the Dēvī.
