**13.14-13.22.** *Construction of caturaśraśyenacit.* This gives an incomplete description of another type of *caturaśraśyenacit* with *pañcamī* (24 *aṅg.* × 24 *aṅg.*), *adhyardhā* (36 *aṅg* × 24 *aṅg*) *pāda* (12 *aṅg.* × 12 *aṅg.*), and *ardhapāda* (6 *aṅg.* × 12 *aṅg.*) brick. Admitting that the text is defective and the measures of bricks are uncertain, Gelder has given a tentative plan, but we shall make no such attempt. Like the previous type it has a square body, 2 rectangular wings, a rectangular tail, and a square head. There is no mention that the *citi* is constructed with 200 bricks.
