v6.c41.s1.89

This class (5) does not refer (like the *Mānasāra*) to the sexes of the deities. Here they appear more like residential buildings; their characteristic features are determined by architectural details. The distinguishing marks of the divisions in the other four classes (1 to 4) are similar to those of the *Mānasāra* noticed above.
