c8.t38.6
In the circular *gārhapatya* of one sq. *puruṣa*, a circle is drawn with a radius half a *puruṣa*. The altar is covered with 21 bricks by four types of bricks, the sizes of which are not given. This may be done by laying 12 square bricks of type I, 4 triangular bricks of type II of which one side is curved, and 4 bricks of type III, of which one side is curved and the other straight. One brick of type III is halved (type IV) to make the number 21. For the other layer the direction is only changed.
