They are: Shikhi, Parjanya, Jayanta, Indra, Surya, Satya, Bhrisha, Antariksha or Akash (From top to bottom-E1 to E8, see the diagram below).But among 8 Padas, only 2 Padas: Jayanta and Mahendra or Indra, are auspicious for the main entrance of your east-facing home vastu. They are believed to bring positivity, happiness, and prosperity into your life. However, the rest of the others are inauspicious as per vastu rules for the east-facing home as they cause lots of physical and mental problems in life.
