In the body, 2 B₄s, with their longer sides turned either towards north or towards south, but the diagonally cut side always facing outwards, are placed at each of the four corners. The remaining space can be divided into five rows east-west. The two rows on the south of the central row are filled with 10 B₄s, of which 5 are turned towards east and 5 towards west. The two rows north of the central are similarly filled with 10 B₄s. (*ātmano dakṣiṇe pārśve daśa caturthyaḥ | pañca-prācīḥ evamuttare pārśve*—Kapardi). The middle row can be filled with 32 B₆ bricks; but, to make the total number of bricks 200, 30 B₆s and 1 B₅ are used.
