v1.c5.s8.13

Those of even numbers should be treated according to the Maṇḍūka plan of 64 squares and those of an uneven number of squares should be laid out in accordance with the Paramaśāyika plan of 81 squares. These two plans, once more are called ‘sakala’ and ‘niṣkala’¹⁰⁰ which would mean that in either of them, the Supreme Principle should be worshipped beyond manifestation as well as in manifestation, in a temple, symbol or image (mūrti).
