Śrīpura-Nirmāṇa-Prastāva (Inquiry into Śrīpura and its Construction) / “The Proposal to Build Śrīpura”
क्रोशद्वयं समुन्नद्धं ह्रासं गोपुरवन्मुने / मुकुटस्यान्तरे क्षोणी क्रोशार्धेन च संमिता
krośadvayaṃ samunnaddhaṃ hrāsaṃ gopuravanmune / mukuṭasyāntare kṣoṇī krośārdhena ca saṃmitā
O sage, the crown rises to two krośas in height, tapering like the gopura; and the ground within the crown is measured as half a krośa.
