त्रिषुमार्गेषु भङ्गित्वात्त्रिभङ्गित्वं विधीयते ।
वक्त्रं दक्षिणतो भागे मध्यभागं तु वामतः ॥ ११ ॥

triṣumārgeṣu bhaṅgitvāttribhaṅgitvaṃ vidhīyate |
vaktraṃ dakṣiṇato bhāge madhyabhāgaṃ tu vāmataḥ || 11 ||

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

Because it is broken in three ways, it is prescribed to be three-breaking. The face is on the right side, and the middle part is on the left.
