They now fix pegs round it,--a Palâsa (Butea frondosa) one in front,--for the Palâsa is the Brahman (n.): he thus makes him go to the heavenly world with the Brahman for his leader;--a Samî (Prosopis spicigera) one on the left (north corner), in order that there may be peace (sam) for him;--a Varana (Crataeva Roxburghii) one behind, in order that he may ward off (vâraya) sin from him;-- and a Vritra-peg on the right (south corner) for sin not to pass beyond.
