They have arrow-marks to show the correct direction to the mason. The bricks are voussoir bricks in shape. The measurements of the bricks are: (1) 7" × 8" × 9" (one side broken, at present 6", originally probably 8" like the opposite side); the thickness is 2½", and the fabric very strong; (2) 8" × (7", broken) 9". It seems that bricks were made below the hill and were marked for \*Bhūbhārā\* which was evidently the name of the hill where the temple was built. Probably bricks were made together for several buildings and were thus allocated. - [Previous: c19.s2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.7) - [Next: c19.s2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.9) - [Up: c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2) ## Linked texts (1) - [Bhumara](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bhumara) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.8) · Pramāṇa
