8.4.4.5

pratiṣṭhaikaviṃśavatyau | te yadekaviṃśavatyau bhavataḥ pratiṣṭhā hyekaviṃśo dve bhavato dvandvaṃ hi pratiṣṭhā paścādupadadhāti paścāddhīyam pratiṣṭhā

The two (behind) containing the Ekavimsa are the foundation (the feet). And as to why these are such as contain the Ekavimsa,--the Ekavimsa is a foundation. There are two of them,--because the foundation is a pair (of feet). He places them behind, because this foundation (the hind-feet) is behind.
