**8.10** The body (of the fire-altar) is a square of 4 *puruṣa*; its (southern) wing is a square of 1 *puruṣa* made longer on the southern side by 1 *aratni* and its northern wing is explained in the same way; its tail is a square of 1 *puruṣa* lengthened on the western side by 1 *prādeśa*. Thus, with the addition of (two) *aratnis* and (one) *prādeśa*, the seven-fold (fire-altar of 7½ sq. *puruṣa*) is accomplished.
