However where the inscription contains more than one line, the boustrophedon mode has been used. On the basis of detailed analysis, Mahadevan, 1977, pp. 10-14, has concluded that while the majority of Indus texts are from the right to the left, some of the inscriptions suggest a left-to-right direction. - [Previous: v1.c25.s4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c25.s4.6) - [Next: v1.c25.s4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c25.s4.8) - [Up: v1.c25.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c25.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c25.s4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c25.s4.7) · Pramāṇa
