c8.t31.20

**1.7-1.10.** *Gārhapatya, āhavanīya, dakṣiṇāgni and utkara.* Mānava describes *āhavanīya* as a square of one sq. *aratni*, *gārhapatya* and *dakṣiṇāgni* as circle and semi-circle of the same area. His incomplete method of circling a square appears to follow that of Baudhāyana, Āpastamba and Kātyāyana (*Bśl.* 2.9, *Aśl.* 3.2 and *Kśl.* 3.11). The method of finding the relative positions of these fires and of *dakṣiṇāgni* also differs from that given by other *śulbakāras*.
