[प्रेक्षागृहाणां सर्वेषां त्रिप्रकारो विधिः स्मृतः । विकृष्टश्चतुरस्रश्च त्र्यस्रश्चैव प्रयोक्तृभिः ॥) कनीयस्तु स्मृतं त्र्यस्रं चतुरस्रं तु मध्यमम् । ज्येष्ठं विकृष्टं विज्ञेयं नाट्यवेदप्रयोक्तृभिः ]॥ देवानां मानसी सृष्टिर्गृहेषूपवनेषु च । यत्नभावाभिनिष्पन्नाः सर्वे भावा हि मानुषा ॥ २२॥

sanskrit

In all playhouses, there are three types of construction methods remembered: the distorted (vikṛṣṭa), quadrangular (caturasra), and triangular (tryasra) designs, as stated by practitioners. The triangular type is considered the smallest, the quadrangular type is the medium, and the distorted type is the largest, to be known by those who practice the science of drama. The divine creation exists in houses and gardens, where all the emotions, born from effort and feeling, are present in human beings.
