c8.t27.26

In the tail, 5 B₇ bricks are placed on either side, and the whole space is divided into 5 rows west-east. In the second and the fourth row from the bottom 1 B₇ each is placed by the side of the B₇s on either flank. This makes the total number of B₇s 12. (*evaṃ dvādaśa saptamya upahitā bhavanti* /-Karavinda). The remaining space in the tail is covered by 13 B₈ bricks. Their disposition is described by Karavinda as follows: *pucchāgre pārśvagatayossaptamyormadhye pañcāṣṭamyau | nanāgra dvitīyāyām tisrāṇāṃ saptamināṃ madhye tisro'ṣṭamyaḥ | tṛtiyāyāṃ ca tisraḥ | caturtharityām tisrāṇāṃ saptamināṃ madhye ekā | pañcamarityāṃ saptamyormadhye ekā | evaṃ trayodaśāṣṭamyaḥ yathāyogaṃ prāgarāḥ pratyagagrāśca bhaveyuḥ* ||
