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