Statement
Kings/commanders: door height in angula = breadth + breadth/11 + 70; width = half the height. Varna houses: (breadth-in-hasta ÷ 5, taken as angula, + 18) × 9/8 = door width in angula; height = 3 × width.
Details
King's best house: 188 angula high × 94 wide [MODERN — Bhat's worked figures]; Brahmana 32-hasta house: 27 × 81 angula. Bhat notes a small arithmetical slip of Utpala here [MODERN].
