c8.t24.12

**11.9-11.11.** In the arrangement of bricks in the second layer, 5 B₂ bricks are placed at the juncture between the tail and the body, half of them lying on either side. 14 B₅s are placed around the aforesaid bricks, 10 east of them and 2 on each side. The remaining space in the body can be filled with 94 bricks, thus accounting for 113 bricks in the body with the junction, of which B₂s are 99 and B₅s are 14. In each wing 30 B₂s are placed, so that there are 60 bricks in the two wings. In the tail, following Karavinda, 9 B₃ bricks are placed in the upper half immediately after the junction bricks, in three rows,—two on the sides and one in the middle.
