v1.c6.45
The illustrations too of penalties for defective construction are taken from the different architectural objects, such as door, staircase, pillar, wall, dome, spire, etc., etc. Thus it is stated that if the altar (vedikā) be defective, the master would lose his eyesight (26); if the dome be larger or shorter, the people would suffer from poverty (29); if the pillars be larger or shorter, the race of the master would be exterminated (23), and so forth.
