The remaining part of the adjustable line(kshipta sutra) should be cut off so as to be in
alignment with middle part of the corner rafter. A constant line(non-adjustable line)
should be drawn so as to connect the consoles, beam and the lierne. Another line should
be drawn above the center of the middle portion of the rafter. The intersections of these
lines would define a form known as ‘karaka’.

is in alignment with the middle part of the rafter.
