The length of the plough-beam has been told. The thickness of the beam may be three or two digits. The
width should be twice the thickness of the beam. It should be designed so as to look like the shaft of the
flag-post. For the beam which is with a length of four hastas, the thickness should be two spans. At the
center of the yoke, there should be a navel-like design with a circumference of 21 digits. The length of
the yoke should be four spans and its width, one digit. The distance between one girdle and the next girdle
(designed on the yoke) should be one span. At the center of the yoke, the pin should be with a length of
two digits. It should be projected on the left side of the center up to a measure of six yava-grains. The
supporting rod connected to the girdle should be equal to the interspace between the girdles. The yoke
and other parts should be joined together. The metal rod(fixed to the plough-shaft) should be in proportion
to the plough. It may be made of iron.

It has been ordained that the metal rod should be made of gold for the Deities; should be made of silver
for the brahmins and the kings; should be made of ordinary metals for the vaisyas and the sudras. Or,
half the measure of plough-beam and others may divided into eight equal parts. Starting from one part
and reaching up to the four parts, the length of the rod may be held either in increased or decreased
measure as desired by the Master.
