The *āgnidhrīya* may also be a square or a circle. When it is in the form of a square, it is divided into nine small squares, and the central brick is replaced by a piece of stone. The same method is also given by Mānava (*Mśl.* 6.10). When it is circular, a round stone of 8 *aṅgulas* diameter is placed in the centre of the circle and the remaining area divided into eight equal parts (Fig. 32).
