c7.149

**10.7** The (southern) wing is of 12 *padas* (180 *aṅgulas*) in length (along north-south) and 10 *padas* (150 *aṅgulas*) in breadth (along east-west). A pole is fixed at a distance of 6 *padas* (90 *aṅgulas*) to the east from the middle (of its western side) and at each of the two south-western corners (of the rectangular wing). With a cord (stretching between these three poles, a triangular area) is to be enclosed. The (triangular) area enclosed by the cord is to be cut off and placed on the eastern side (of the wing) (with its vertex) pointing towards east. This is the bending (of the wing). Thereby the bending of the northern wing is explained.
