<em>Within the consecrated hall</em>.

The Bráhman householder ought to maintain three sacred fires, the <em>Gárhapatya</em>, the <em>Ahavaniya</em> and the <em>Dakshina</em>. These three fires were made use of in many Brahmanical solemnities, for example in funeral rites when the three fires were arranged in prescribed order.
