**13.1-13.5** *Saumikī vedi.* Here the construction of *sautrāmaṇī*, *saumikī* and *paśubandha* fire-altars has been hinted at. The *saumikī* fire-altar is in the form of an isosceles trapezium having face 8 √3, base 12 √3, and altitude 12 √3. This is meaningful (*Āśl*. 5.8-5.9), but the description regarding the other two is not very clear.
