Then, in continuation of what has been told previously, I speak on the measurments
and location of the entrance(grate) to be provided to the streets running along the
boundary of the village. The main street which runs around the brahma stha'na
(central court-yard) is called the navel street(na'bhi vi'thi) or the central main road.

The main road which runs around the outskirts of the village and other settlements
is called the royal road (ra'javi'thi). The same road is also called the elegant
road(man'gala vi'thi) and the chariot road(ratha vi'thi).
