The Hindu Temple v1.c8.s2.11

v1.c8.s2.11

An apparent exception to the aloofness of the Vedic altar from any geographical or ethnical factor is given in Ś.B. XIII, 8. 1. 5 (note 60). The northerners and easterners had round sepulchral mounds in contradistinction to those who knew the Three Vedas and whose sepulchral mounds were square. This is but an application of the supremacy of the four cornered shape; a lesser value is assigned to the circular shape.
