अंतरं तु तयोः कार्यं तथा हस्तचतुष्टयम् । मुंडकोपरि काष्ठं च दृढं कुर्याद्विचक्षणः
aṃtaraṃ tu tayoḥ kāryaṃ tathā hastacatuṣṭayam | muṃḍakopari kāṣṭhaṃ ca dṛḍhaṃ kuryādvicakṣaṇaḥ
Khoảng cách giữa hai trụ phải làm bốn gang tay. Người sáng suốt hãy đặt và cố định chắc chắn một xà gỗ lên các muṇḍaka (cột).
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced)
Scene: Two upright posts stand four hasta apart; a strong horizontal beam is lashed or mortised atop them; the builder checks alignment; the balance mechanism is about to be hung; the scene conveys readiness and solemnity.
Truth-seeking rites are not casual; they require skill, stability, and correct arrangement to uphold dharma.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this procedural verse.
Keep four hastas between the posts and secure a strong beam atop them.
