twice-born Sages!, two square marks should be drawn in the top and bottom part of the two side
lines. Then arrow marks should be drawn outside these square marks in the upper and
bottom parts of the channel.

Starting from the lotus-bud and reaching the end of the channel, a circular line should be
drawn outside. Dividing the whole length of the channel into nine equal parts, this circular
line should be drawn from one part as well as from other parts increasing one by one
successively. In this way the circling of the line takes place in nine different ways with nine
different measures. If the channel is divided into eight equal parts, half part of each of the lower
four parts may be taken for drawing the circular lines. In this way four dimensions
could be available for drawing the marks in between the side lines. The side lines should be drawn
from the bottom of the flower-bud which is at the top of the channel.
