⁷¹ Ś.B. III. 1. 2. 2. (Kāty. VII. 1. 25) ; III. 6. 1. 2. The Sadas is rectangular and may be a double square. Its long side faces the East. Its measures are 18 or 21, 24, 27 cubits and its breadth is one-third (6 cubits), less than one-half, or half of the long side. In the middle of it is the post of Udumbara wood. It has the height of the sacrificer (SBE. vol. XXVI. p. 141). The proportion of its plan 1:2 or 1:3 recurs in the height of the exterior of the Hindu temple. Here, however, it is the interior which matters most and this has the height of the sacrificer.
