If the height of śikhara be 21 parts, that of śukanasa varies between 9 and 13 parts. Again the prescribed ratio of width between the sanctum and the kapilī (vestibule) should be 1:1/2 or 1:1/3. - [Previous: v1.c31.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c31.65) - [Next: v1.c31.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c31.67) - [Up: v1.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c31) ## Cites (1) - [Aparājitapṛcchā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.silpa.marugurjara.aparajitaprccha) — Bhuvanadeva, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c31.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c31.66) · Pramāṇa
