To the south-west of the Miśra Yantra are two pillars 17 feet apart, and the line joining their centres points 35° E. of north. These are mentioned in none of the accounts of the observatory. If they were part of the original observatory, they probably supported one of Jai Singh’s instruments, such as are now found at Jaipur (see figures 28 and 29).
