c8.t5.56
The *chandaścit* is the fire-altar of *mantras*, not of bricks. The shape of the fire-altar is drawn on the ground and the whole ceremony performed. Instead of placing bricks, the sacrificer only touches the places on which the bricks are to be placed and mutters the same *mantras* at the appropriate time.
