c8.t28.39

The body west of the line *AB* is divided into six rows in the east-west direction : *tataḥ paścāt ātmani prācyaṣṣaḍritayaḥ* / Beginning from the south, the first row contains 8 bricks,—1 B₁ at each of the eastern and the western corners and 6 B₂s in between. The second row has 2 B₁s at the western corner end, then 1 B₁, 6 B₂s, again 1 B₁ and 2 B₂s, of which the one at the eastern corner has already been mentioned. There are thus 12 bricks (*dvādaśeṣṭakā eṣā* /) In the third layer, starting from west of the juncture line *AB* upto the line of juncture *CD* in the tail, there are 8 B₁s, of which 4 are turned eastwards and 4 westwards : *tṛtīyasyāṃ rityāṃ śiro'pyayaṣoḍaśyāḥ paścādārabhya āpucchāpyayamāṣṭau ṣoḍaśya upadheyāḥ* / *tāsāṃ catasraḥ prācyaścatasraḥ praticyaḥ* / The arrangements in the 4th, 5th and 6th rows are the same as those in the 3rd, 2nd and 1st respectively.
