The east-west line (*prācī*) of the *mahāvedi* is likewise constructed with 11 poles. Only a rectangular block of half a *pada* is cut off from the eastern side of the altar and the end-pole is placed, so that half of the end-pole is to be considered inside the altar and half outside. For construction of east-west line, the extra 8 *aṅg.* that is left beyond the end-poles discussed above is not required in this case.
