Demonstration:
Let's say we wish to draw up a table which has 6 mātrā in the line.
1. Write the first line which consists of 3 guru-s.
1. −−−
2. Working from the left, under the first guru write a laghu.
1. −−−
2. ⏑
3. Copy the signs that are written to the right on the first line into the second line.
1. −−−
2. ⏑−−
4. To make up the number of Mātrā 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 mātrā, which is too much so we add a laghu instead:
1. −−−
2. ⏑⏑−−
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.
1. −−−
2. ⏑⏑−−
3. ⏑
3. Copy the signs that are written to the right on the first line into the second line.
1. −−−
2. ⏑⏑−−
3. ⏑−
4. To make up the number of Mātrā 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.
1. −−−
2. ⏑⏑−−
3. ⏑−⏑−
5. Repeat instuctions 2 - 4 until a line with all laghu-s is reached.
