20.6 The feet are to be raised where the corners (of the body) have been cut off. The foot (in the south-eastern corner) is 2√2 *padas* (30√2 *aṅgulas*) broad by twice that measure (that is, 60√2 *aṅgulas*) long and its eastern corner is cut off by 2√2 *padas*. Thereby is explained the cutting off of the other (three) feet. Of the two feet at the western (corners of the body), their western corners are to be cut off.
