This chapter, which is missing in all the manuscripts but one, opens with the announcement that herein will briefly be described the measurements from head to foot of the sixteen attendant deities of the Vishṇu temple. It will be remembered that in Chapter XXXII on ‘attendant deities’ (*Parivāra-vidhāna*), groups of eight, ten, sixteen, and thirty-two deities have been mentioned, who are stated to occupy subsidiary shrines in the compound of a large Vishṇu temple.
