We are not advancing along a straight path, it is more like a zigzag trail. But in rugged terrain this could be the optimal way ahead. Let's now establish an updated list over dates and stars at the end of side a:
Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters', θ Virginis) at 13h maybe should be contrasted with Apam Napat ('Grandson of Waters'): ... θ ... is on the front of the garment, below the girdle ... Moderns have no name for it, but in the Surya Siddhanta it was Apami-Atsa, the Child of the Waters ... ... Apam Napat is an eminent figure of the Indo-Iranian pantheon.
