thirty-six windows [and] thirty-six doors

A riddle:

Shiyitrah dari ta shiyitrah bar chis;
Shiyitrah gaz bhar panah chus.
Rezas watshayo rats wasana
Tajas peth suna mana chus
It has thirty-six windows [and] thirty-six doors
It is thirty-six yards in width.
The king happened to get a good impulse [i.e., to build it].
There is a maund of gold on its spires.

And: the Jami Masjid
From: Kashmiri Riddles By Pandit Anand Koul (1933)
