Chapter 4: Relative Positions and Distances of Gārhapatya, Āhavanīya and Dakṣiṇāgni and Construction of Dārśikyā Vedi

c8.t19.2

**4.1-4.4.** Āpastamba has assigned here the relative places of *gārhapatya*, *āhavanīya* and *dakṣiṇāgni*. Baudhāyana's second method is given by Āpastamba. For detail, *vide* *Bśl*. 3.1 - 3.5.

c8.t19.3

**4.5-4.6.** Āpastamba has followed Baudhāyana's method of construction of *dārśikyā vedi* (vide *Bśl*. 3.6-3.8). The only difference is that Baudhāyana used an isosceles trapezium whereas Āpastamba took a rectangle.
