Why are you raising storeys

कहा चुनावै मेड़ियाँ लम्बी भीति उसारि ।घर तो साढ़े तीन हथ घना तो पौने चारि ॥*kahā cunāvai mēṛiyām̐ lambī bhīti usāri ।**ghara tō sāṛhē tīna hatha ghanā tō paunē cāri ॥*

In plain words

Why are you raising storeys and running the long wall up? The house you get is three and a half hands, or three and three-quarters at most.
