**11.4** The corners (of the rectangular body) are cut off with ½ *vyāyāma* (48 *aṅgulas*); the tail is inclined; the bending of the two wings is done with 3 *aratnis* (72 *aṅgulas*) each; the six plumages (at each end of the wings) are to be made with the half of bricks longer on one side by half (that is, half of *adhyardhā*- *pañcamī*); the form of the head remains unchanged (that is, the same as that of the falcon-shaped fire-altar described before).
