c8.t4.6

Baudhāyana has made categorical mention of spatial magnitudes besides the methods of construction here and there (*BŚl.* 7.9, *ĀŚl.* 7.2.). Baudhāyana has discussed the construction of the *mahāvedi* in the next rule. Āpastamba has specially treated the dimension, area and construction of *mahāvedi* (or *saumikī vedi*) in chapter 5 of his *Āpastamba-śulbasūtra*. The *mahāvedi* has much older tradition and its method of construction is mentioned in the *Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa* (IX. 2.1.4).
