v1.c22.5
Like the previous one this chapter too is of miscellaneous nature, a special enumeration of the Śālā-class of houses 15 in number, beginning with the Īśvara etc. is to be particularly noticed here. Again it has described the five-fold Vargādhipas group-numbers 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32. It has also described the measurements relating to the walls, courtyards, pedestals, doors and their height etc. In the end it has described the four special varieties, the very auspicious houses namely, Bhadra, Nandapīṭha, Saurabha and Puṣkara. They result from a particular planning of the Śālās along with the entrances etc.
