History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c47.s1.7

v3.c47.s1.7

²²³⁹ According to the com. on Āp. V. 4. 3 a *prakrama* is equal to two or three *padas*, a *pada* being 15 aṅgulas (Baud.) or 12 aṅgulas (Kāt.). But the com. on Kāt. VIII. 3. 14 says that a pada is equal to two prakramas. The gārhapatya was also called prājahita (vide Jaimini XII. 1. 13) and the Dakṣiṇāgni was called anvāhāryapacana, because on it was cooked the boiled rice with which piṇḍa-pitṛyajña was performed on the new moon. Vide Manu III. 123, Tai. Br. I. 1. 10 and 'दक्षिणाग्नावन्वाहार्यं पचति' quoted by शबर on जै. XII. 2. 3.
