The total height has to be divided, for example, in geometrical progression into six parts (ṣaḍguṇa sūtra). The narrow side of the rectangle however has to be divided into six equal parts of its own. The vertical parallels drawn through these points are equidistant. They intersect the horizontal parallels which are drawn in a geometrical progression. The curve is drawn through their points of intersection (Fig. on p. 210).
