Some of the associates broke the beams, while others destroyed the women’s quarters, the assembly hall, the kindling house, the sponsor’s quarters and the kitchen. Prāg-vāṁṣam refers to the wooden beams running east to west resting upon the pillars, in construction of the sacrificial house. West of the sacrificial area was the women’s quarters. East of the sacrificial area was the assembly shed (sadas). East of that was the shed for the vehicles to carry soma. North of that was the place for kindling the fire (āgnīdhra-śālām). Vihāram is the house for the sponsor. Mahānasam is the kitchen.
