The first group of four on the face is, along with the two cheeks, on the forehead and chin. Your second (group of four) is on the left, right, west, and east. The third deposition, that of the vowels, is at the beginning and end with the two eyes. The fourth set of four is in the row of teeth [i.e., dantapaṅkti] (below) and above”.
