There are thirty-two types of hands [viz., 蝉颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺-丑补蝉迟补] classified into two major groups known as tolirkai (functional and expressive gestures) and elirkai (graceful posture of the hand).
: Shodhganga: Vaisnava Agamas And Visnu Images厂颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺 (啶膏た啶傕す啶曕ぐ啷嵿ぃ) or 厂颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺尘耻诲谤腻 refers to the 鈥渓ion鈥檚 ear hand gesture鈥� and represents one of the various hand-poses (hastas or 尘耻诲谤腻s) defined in treatises such as the P膩帽car膩tra, P膩dmasa峁僪it膩 and Vaikh膩nasa-膩gamas, extensively dealing with the technical features of temple art, iconography and architecture in Vaishnavism.鈥擨n 蝉颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺-尘耻诲谤腻, according to K膩艣yapa艣颈濒辫补艣膩stra (64.13b-14a), the middle finger remains bent and reaches the middle of the palm; the ring finger is half-bent; and other fingers are slightly bent. In general, this gesture, especially the index finger and little finger, resembles the lion鈥檚 ear. As per Liebert, this 尘耻诲谤腻 resembling the lion鈥檚 ear signifies the hand pose of the right hand having just released the bowstring when shooting-off an arrow, this pose being very similar to that of holding a flower in 办补峁璦办补-尘耻诲谤腻.
Gopinatha Rao holds that both 办补峁璦办补 and 蝉颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺 gestures are identical. However, the 蝉颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺-尘耻诲谤腻 differs from 办补峁璦办补-尘耻诲谤腻 with reference to the position of the fingers.
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣颈濒辫补艣膩stra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

General definition (in Jainism)

Accordingly:鈥斺�淭he Mlecchas are free from (knowledge of) virtue and vice, and also those born in the Antaradv墨pas. The 56 Antaradv墨pas are as follows: Half of them are to the east and west of K峁drahimavat in the four intermediate directions, beginning with northeast. [...] Beyond them (i.e., after A艣vamukha, Hastimukha, Si峁僪amukha, Vy膩ghramukha), at 700 yojanas in distance, with the same length and width are A艣va办补谤峁嘺, 厂颈峁僪补办补谤峁嘺, Hasti办补谤峁嘺, and Kar峁嘺pr膩vara峁嘺鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
