In this construction, the body, the two wings and the tail (4 + 2⅖ + 1 1/10) account for 7½ sq. *pu*, with the head needing an additional area and thus deviating from the traditional area of a fire-altar of this type. We have seen that Baudhāyana did not provide his square *śyenacit* with a head and strictly restricted himself to the area of 7½ sq. *pu*.
