**16.15-16-20.** *Placement of bricks in the second layer.* The general principle of avoiding overlapping of cleavages of bricks in the two layers is to be kept in view. For this reason, a circle shorter by one-fourth (¾ OP) is drawn within the nave; its distance from the edge is therefore a quarter. In the felly, a concentric circle is drawn so that its distance from the inner edge is one-fourth the breadth of the felly (*nemimabhyantarato nemipramāṇacaturthabhāge'tīte parikṛṣet*—D.)
