The nāsā-puṭa-sūtra is also called the dṛigantarī-sūtra, that is, the line that passes through the inner margin of the eye near the nose. This sūtra also passes through the extremity of the mouth and is the same, therefore, as the vaktra-bāhya-sūtra. The antarbhujāvadhi-sūtra is the same as the kaksha-paryanta-sūtra and is also sometimes called the aṅga-pārśva-madhya-sūtra, a term which means the line which is to pass through the middle of the side of the body. The sūtra, which passes through the back of the head and is known as the śiraḥ-pṛishṭhāvasāna-sūtra, is also the outer limit of the back hands of a figure with four arms.
