**14.1.** In the *śyena* (fire-altar) there are 37½ parts in the left wing, 4 in the head, 26 in the body, and 15 in the tail. The *alajacit* has 17 (parts) in the tail, 2 in the head, and the same (number of parts) in the body and the (two) wings (as in the *śyena*). These are measured by (bricks of side) one-fourth of a *puruṣa* intermingling the joints of the parts.
