‘But indeed that fire-altar also is the body—the bones are the enclosing stones, and there are 360 of these, because there are three hundred and sixty bones in man; the marrow-parts are the yajuṣmatī bricks, for there are three hundred and sixty of these, and three hundred and sixty parts of marrow in man.’ (Vol. iv, p. 387; Original Text in § 99, cl. 1.)
