Preview of English translation:
13. There are here four Ritavyas, the Vishvajyotis being the fifth, and five Dishyas,—this makes ten: the Viraj consists of ten syllables, and the Viraj is food, and the middlemost layer is the middle;—he thus puts food in the middle (of the body). He lays them down so as not to be separated from the naturally-perforated one, for the naturally-perforated one is the vital air: he thus places the food so as not to be separated from the vital air. Subsequently (to the central brick) he lays them down: subsequently to (or upon) the vital air he thus places food.
