Starting from the intersection of the ka line and the ushnisha line and passing through
these points, lines should be drawn up to the limit of the overhanging eave(which should
be marked by the parallel traced below the asana line). Next, the distances up to the eave
should be drawn on the asana line starting from the end of this line which goes up to the
base of the ka line. This provides the positions of the extremities of the consoles. The
length of the rafter should be taken as the distance between the intersection of the ka line
and the ushnisha line and the extreme point corresponding to this rafter.

Each of the extreme distances should then be drawn again on the ka line. Or, it may be
drawn on the asana line. This denotes the extremity of the rafter.

Thus, the dimensions of the median rafter should be increased according to the number
of the other rafters. After this has been done, the lengths of the corresponding malla should
be ascertained by the process of increasing and decreasing. These component parts known
as mallas are obtained from the corresponding pushkaras(koshtas).
