Śailādi said: The twigs with which the border is strewn shall be by means of the same twigs as in Homa. They shall be equal to the middle finger in girth. They shall not be bent. There shall be no cracks in them. They shall be of equal length. There are three Paridhis each thirty-two aṅgulas in length. Darbha grass thirty in number, each measuring thirty-two aṅgulas shall be strewn all round.
