Tarjanī, mudrā; the pose of the raised index finger in a menacing attitude. In the hand showing this mudrā, the index finger only is raised while the other fingers are locked up in the fist. If a Pāśa or noose appears round the index finger it is called Tarjanī-pāśa. The word Vajratarjanī signifies the Vajra held in the fist while the index is raised in a menacing attitude.
