Nine alternative measurements are prescribed for the mirror, namely, from 5 (or 6) *aṅgulas* up to 21 (or 22) *aṅgulas*. Mirrors should be quite circular (*suvṛtta*) with the edge a little raised. The surface must be perfectly bright, the rim being decorated with linear ornament (*rekhā*) and the reverse with the figures of Lakshmī and others. An account of the various parts is given in detail.
