________________ JAIXA PENANCE The method of finding out the position (uddesta) of any particular combination of traits of character is this: begin by determining, with reference to the table giving the measure of alternations, the position of the attribute in the last column, then go on to the one next to it, and so on, till you get to the first, which will determine the number. Suppose we have to find out the position of the group' deroted, uttle knowledge, external pressure, ono fault, not straightfortard” we shall fix up the columns backwards, beginning with the last, thus "not straightforward" 17–32 (does not occur in 1-16), "one faolt" 17-24 (does not occur in 25–22); 'esternal pressure" 11-20 (does not occur in 21-24), "Ittle knowledgo" 19-20 (does not occur ja 17–18), "devoted" 19 (does not occur at 201 This gives us the position of the combination in the abore scheme as 19, which is correct. Another method of determining the position (uddrata) is this. spite the figure 1 and then mulupis it sath 2 with reference to the trait of the last column , then deduct 1 from the total of the element be affirmative; then multiply the remainder again with two, with reference to the trait of the next preceding column, and deduct 1 as before, if it happens to be affirmatire; repeat the process for the remaining columns all the first one is reached. The result will indicate the position which was to be determinel.
