Demonstration:

Let's say we wish to draw up a table which has 6 màtrà in the line.

1. Write the first line which consists of 3 guru-s.

2. Working from the left, under the first guru write a laghu.

3. Copy the signs that are written to the right on the first line into the second line.

4. To make up the number of Màtrà required add sufficient guru-s at the beginning of the line, but if the quantity required is odd, then first write a laghu, then whatever guru-s that are needed - here adding a guru would make 7 màtrà, which is too much so we add a laghu instead:

5. Repeat instuctions 2 - 4 until a line with all laghu-s is reached.
2. Working from the left, under the first guru write a laghu.
