Preview of English translation:
19. The Garhapatya pile thus is those three anushtubh verses. And as to why they make up three anushtubhs in this (Garhapatya), it is because all these (three) worlds then come to be (contained) therein. From it they take one of the two (first) anushtubhs of thirty-two syllables (to be) the Ahavaniya,—that Ahavaniya is that sky, that head (of Prajapati). Then one of the two (anushtubhs) is left here (to be) this Garhapatya, this foundation, this very (terrestrial) world.
