Explanation

The instructions turn concrete: a clean, quiet spot, a stable seat, neither too high nor too low, layered cloth over antelope skin over kusha grass. The source print edition had a typo here (chelājina for chailājina), corrected in this text — a proofing fix, not a textual variant, though it does change the transliteration’s initial vowel.
