[Full title: Features of houses for the four classes (肠补迟耻谤驳峁沨补-惫颈诲丑腻苍补) (4) Measurement of central pavilion (尘补诲丑测补尘补峁囜笉补辫补-辫谤补尘腻峁嘺)]

The pavilion should be placed at the middle of the construction site. When a pavilion is to be constructed in the center of the site, its width will be a quarter, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, an eighth, or a ninth of the site. There are three types of pavilions based on their size, viz., large, medium, and small. The small pavilion should be of six cubits. Medium and large pavilions can be arranged with dimension starting from seven to seventeen cubits, increasing successively by two cubits.

A one or two-part (bhakti) wide pavilion consists of either four or eight pillars. If it is specifies for the upper classes (诲惫颈箩补产丑奴辫补迟颈惫补颈艣测腻苍腻峁�), the numbers of the pillar should be even (测耻驳尘补辫腻诲补), while for the lower classes (艣奴诲谤腻峁嚹乵补苍测腻箩腻迟奴苍腻峁�), they should be in odd (ayugma) number.

Maya states that:

诲惫颈箩补产丑奴辫补迟颈惫补颈艣测腻苍腻峁� 测耻驳尘补辫腻诲补峁� 辫谤补办墨谤迟颈迟补峁� |
艣奴诲谤腻峁嚹乵补苍测腻箩腻迟奴苍腻尘补测耻驳尘补蝉迟补尘产丑补尘颈峁�y补迟别 || (Mayamata 27.22-23)

Here, the word bhakti indicates a part (unit) of measurement. This term is derived from the root bhaj with the suffix ktin. In the chapter twenty-five of Mayamata the word bhakti is found. Maya states that:

[鈥淔rom one and a half to five cubits by successive increments of six digits, there are fifteen possible values for the intercolumniation and the length is to be calculated from the width, as calculated with these (value as) units (bhakti);鈥�.鈥漖^[1]
