Next comes a further division of thrones into ten kinds. An account of the general plan as well as the measurements of the various parts of them is given in detail. They are technically called- *padmāsana*, *padma-keśara*, *padma-bhadra*, *śrībhadra*, *śrīviśāla*, *śrībandha*, *śrīmukha*, *bhadrāsana*, *padma-bandha* and *pāda-bandha* Nine kinds of dimensions are given to each of the above mentioned thrones. But the right proportion in each case should be selected by the application of the rules of *shaḍ-varga*.
