108 İśānasiva gurudevapaddhati communities are described. The components of the different structures are noted by the author in describing the types. (30) This section is devoted to several types of structures for human beings. These can be divided into three classes, Uttama, Madhyama and Adhama depending on the height of each storey. For the first variety the height between the storeys will be consi- derable. Multi-storeyed buildings start from three floors to twelve at the maximum. Buildings with lesser floors are enumera- ted as Kṣudra-Vimãnas whereas the ones with several floors belong to the categories of Jati-Vimana, Cchanda-Vimana, Vikalpa- Vimana and Abhasa-Vimana. The maximum height of a building is calculated as a hundred Hastas. If more height is planned then there is the possibility of damage due to cyclonic storms. विमानाच्छतहस्तोच्चादधिकं न कलौ स्मृतम् । महावातादिपीडाभि: पीड्यते यद्यतोऽधिकम् || Multi-storey is prescribed for the trinity as well as an emperor. Eleven floors are prescribed for the sun and moon and nine for Mahārājas. For Gandharvas, Siddhas and Vidyadharas eight floors can be constructed. Brahmins and ordinary kings deserve up to seven storey: A regional ruler is eligible for a six storeyed structure while vassals and princess and lord of city deserve four floors in their residence. For Vaisyas. Śūdras, and comanders of the army three floors are prescribed. One and two storeyed buildings are for common people depending in their affluence. Structures have two parts, the main and the subsidiary. Base, pillar, wall, etc., belong to the first category while beams, stairs, doors, rafters, windows etc., form the second category. These are technically called Kaya and Anukaya. These are listed as follows: कायश्चाप्यनुकायश्च प्रासादाङ्ग द्विधास्मृतम् | अधिष्ठानं तथा स्तम्भो भित्तिः कुम्भश्च मण्डिका: ॥ पोतिका स्याद् भारतुला जयन्तय इति क्रमात् । अनुमार्गाश्च कायः स्यादनुकायोग्य कथ्यते ॥ उत्तरं बाजनं श्रेणी बलीकं कर्णपत्रिका | सन्धिद्वारकपाटानि योग: प्रछादनानि च ॥ कुम्भवल्ली तोरणानि मुष्टिबन्धाष्टमङ्गलैः | मृणालिका दण्डिका च नीप्रहारश्च नासिकाः ॥
