**3.12** For performing the *sautrāmaṇī* sacrifice, the altar is advised to have an area one-third of the *mahāvedi*. If a third part of the *mahāvedi* is turned into a square its side will be 18 *padas*. It can also have, if one so desires, a shape in which one side is shorter and the other larger.
