It should be noticed that the description of temples intended for so many deities does not contain any measurement, etc. It is solely occupied with the position of these temples or deities in the compound. But a considerable portion of the chapter is devoted to the description of the maṇḍapas (pavilions) for such purpose as bath, bed, assembly, horses, musicians, dancing girls, and cows, etc. (lines 67–101).
