The concluding chapter (XVII) on the preliminary subjects deals with joinery. The wood-joining is of various kinds and forms. Pieces of wood are joined in such a way as to make the figures of *nandyāvarta*, *svastika*, *sarvatobhadra*, and such other shapes. Some kinds of wood are strictly forbidden to be joined with some others.
