In the tail, 8 B₆s are placed on either side, in two groups each containing 4. Karavinda explains the disposition as follows—*pucchāgre tisraḥ tāsāṃ purastādekam* | *evamuttarasmin pārśve viparyasya kāritāḥ* | At the junction between the tail and the body, 2 B₄s are placed in such a way that the portion diagonally cut lies in the body. West of them are placed 2 B₅s. The space now left in the tail consists of a rectangular strip, 30 *aṅg.* × 60 *aṅg.*, followed west of it by two equal rectangular strips, each 30 *aṅg.* × 120 *aṅg.* ; 10 B₄s (2 + 4 + 4) can be placed in these three strips (17.1).
