Verse 7.60
पादाधिकं तु विज्ञेयं श्रेष्ठमेवं विधीयते ।
उत्तमाधमयोर्मध्ये द्वारमानेन योजयेत् ।
हस्तमानं तधावक्ष्ये नवहस्तं तधोत्तमम् ॥ ६० ॥
pādādhikaṃ tu vijñeyaṃ śreṣṭhamevaṃ vidhīyate |
uttamādhamayormadhye dvāramānena yojayet |
hastamānaṃ tadhāvakṣye navahastaṃ tadhottamam || 60 ||
Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.
The best thing to understand is that it is more than a foot long. The measurement of the door should be placed between the upper and lower. I shall now describe the measurement of one hand, the best of which is nine hands.
