- Statement
- A storey's height is 108 digits per Maya, 84 digits (3½ cubits) per Vishvakarman; learned architects reconcile them — adding the crown-work (cornice/dove-cot) makes the smaller equal the greater.

- Reconciliation Note
- BS 56.29 reconciles the two figures: adding the crown-work (cornice/ dove-cot) to the smaller (84) makes it equal the greater (108) — the two measure to different tops, so the divergence is apparent, not real. No edge is minted (the divergence is between authorities WITHIN this rule; a rule does not contradict itself — §4.1). Escalation to two split rules is NOT triggered: no downstream edge depends on one figure alone.
