(leaving equal intervals). Keeping nine grids at the central space, the Acharya who is the foremost
among the gurus should leave out the sixteen grids lying around the the central space (of the nine
grids). On all the four directions, he should make four entrances, each entrance occupying two
grids. In the twelve grids lying in the corners( three grids in each corner), he should place twelve
palikas and other vessels. In the central space of Brahma containing nine grids, he should place the
palikas in each corner. On the left side of the entrance, ghatikas should be arrayed. On the right
side of the entrance, saravas should be arrayed. Similarly, he should array the vessels in other
entrances
