Four Stages of Life - Verse 108-109

A city that extends to the east or north is the most excellent. 2 Its extent shall be half or one-fourth of the maximum length. It should be divided into a hypotenuse and segments and be laid out in the shape of a fan.* A city planned circularly or merely lengthwise (with little breadth) or deficient in (amenities) is not recommendable. A city set up in the form of a square with straight rows of houses in all the eight quarters is desirable.
