Thus there is a deficit of 41 bricks (*ekacatvāriṁśadūnāḥ*). This deficit is met by replacing 40 B₁s (5B₁s from each of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th rows of each of the southern and the northern halves of the *agnikṣetra*) by 80 B₂s. Also 1 B₁ in the head is replaced by 2 B₂s. Dvārakānātha says: *tṛtīyādiṣu catasṛṣu pañca pañca caturthiruddhṛtyaṁ catvāri-* *ṁśadardhyā dakṣiṇottarasaviśeṣa upadheyāḥ | evamuttarasminpārśve viparītasaviśeṣāḥ | śirasyekām caturthīmuddhṛtya dve ardhye upadheye |* The final arrangement of bricks in different parts of the fire-altar is shown in Table 14.
