The distance between the *gārhapatya* and the *āhavanīya* in the arrangement for the laying of sacrificial fires is known from the tradition. The Brāhmaṇa has to place it (the *āhavanīya*) (at a distance of) 8 *prakramas*, the prince 11 *prakramas* and the merchant 12 *prakramas* (from the *gārhapatya* towards east).
