[Note: This chapter corresponds to Chapter 47 of the original 厂补尘补谤腻峁単补峁嘺-厂奴迟谤补诲丑腻谤补]

The seventh limb of the 础峁ａ弓腻峁単补 architecture (cf. 厂补尘补谤腻峁単补峁嘺蝉奴迟谤补诲丑腻谤补 45.) is the knowledge of the planning of the 驰补箩补尘腻苍补-艣腻濒腻, its altar and the architectural process of the 碍辞峁璱丑辞尘补. Its utility in the civil architecture is not very much but in the performance of the rituals, sacrifices, ceremonies (marriage etc.) in connection with installation of the deities, 狈墨谤腻箩补苍补蝉, Homas, coronations of kings and the rising of Indra鈥檚 flag the construction of the altars is obligatory.

The Altar admits of four classifications and their names and properties are laid down hereunder:

Name	Dimensions	Shape	Use
1. 颁补迟耻谤补艣谤补	9 Hastas	Square	Sacrifice
2. Subhadra	8 Hastas	Octagonal (Decorated on all sides or corners).	Installation of a deity.
3. 艢谤墨诲丑补谤墨	7 Hastas	With 2 corners	Marriage
4. 笔补诲尘颈苍墨	6 Hastas	As name indicates in the shape of a lotus.	狈墨谤腻箩补苍腻, Homa, & coronation of kings.

Then follow their building elaborations. We know that the Vedic altar was the precursor of Temple-architecture in India. The laying of the brick (cf. altar) and its attendant paraphernalia gave rise to what is called the religious architecture, the 笔耻箩腻-痴腻蝉迟耻鈥攖he temples and shrines (especially the sanctuary, the 骋补谤产丑补驳峁沨补). 滨峁ａ弓颈办腻-cayana, reminiscent of the Vedic altar, is prescribed here with the chants of hymns. Therefore, the building of sheds upon these altars on the columns specially built and well decorated is a rule. Stairs arc also to be made.
