The lion-legs are, however, not attached to the throne of Astra-grāha (line 191). Thrones of all other petty kings of the Vaiśya and the Śūdra castes are stated to be furnished with pedestals instead, and are made four-cornered square (lines 192–193). But thrones of all other kings are marked with lions and furnished with six legs (line 196). These thrones are stated to be made facing the east (prāṅmukha) (line 197).
