v2.c14.s52.2
In this system the whole length of an image is divided into 124 equal parts, which are proportionately distributed over the different parts of the body from head to foot. The measurement of breadth, etc., of the various limbs is not included in these 124 parts. The measurement of the hand, etc., is also excluded. All the numerous parts of the body are minutely described. Such minute measurement as that of the finger-digit, the interspace between two toes, etc., has not escaped the notice of the author of the *Mānasāra*.
