According to tradition, the *sautrāmaṇikī* sacrificial altar is one-third of the *saumikyā vedi*. (To find its dimensions), √(⅓) of a *prakrama* is to be substituted for *prakrama* (in the values given for the *saumikyā*). Alternatively, the transverse sides will be √3 times 8 and 10 and the east-west line (*pṛṣṭhyā*) √3 times 12. The (area of the) *sautrāmaṇikī* sacrificial altar is 324 (square) *padas*.
