3. Then as to the subsequent (bricks). Alongside of the one (in front) containing the Trivrit he lays down one containing the Trivrit; alongside of that (at the back) containing the Ekavimsha (he lays down) one containing the Ekavimsha; alongside of that (on the south, or right, side) containing the Pancadasha (he lays down) one containing the Saptadasha; alongside of that (on the north, or left, side) containing the Saptadasha (he lays down) one containing the Pancadasha. And because he thus changes in laying them down, therefore they (the bricks) are of diverse stomas; and because these stomas are then otherwise with regard to the former ones, therefore also they (the bricks) are of diverse stomas. And in this way the gods laid them down, and otherwise the Asuras; whereupon the gods succeeded, and the Asuras came to naught: he who knows this, succeeds of himself, and his hateful enemy comes to naught.
