Mudrā, mystic pose of hand or hands. Some of the Mudrās can be shown by one hand, such as the Varada, Abhaya, Namaskāra, etc. others require both the hands such as the Añjali, Dharmacakra, and many others. In the Sādhanamālā there are descriptions of an overwhelming number of Mudrās. But it is very difficult to comprehend them unless actually explained by the priests.
