Addenda and Corrigenda

v1.c6.1

The following were discovered shortly after the book was printed :—

v1.c6.2

*Karttari-hasta.* In the *Karttari-hasta* pose the arm is lifted so that the middle finger of the hand reaches to the height of the *hikkā-sūtra*: the ring-finger and the thumb are bent so as to meet near the middle of the palm of the hand; the last or the smallest finger is also slightly bent; the fore-finger and the middle finger are stretched out and kept like the legs of the letter V. The palm of the hand faces the outside. This pose of the hand is meant for holding the *śaṅkha*, *chakra* and other weapons.* (See Pls. XX and XXII).

v1.c6.3

*Chhannavira.* Chhannavira is an ornament which may be rightly called a double *yajñōpavīta*. In this, two *yajñōpavītas* thrown one on each shoulder, pass through the middle of the chest, where they are connected with the *urassūtra* or the chest-band, and reach as far below as the *yōni* or the public region, from which they turn to the back and thence to the shoulders.† (See the figures of Rama and Lakshmaṇa on Pl. LV and of Varaha in figure 1, Pl. XXXIX).

v1.c6.4

* हिक्कासूत्रसमं मध्यमाग्रमूर्ध्वाननं करम् ।
बहिर्मुखं कर्त्तरी सा शङ्खचक्रादिसंयुता ॥
वक्रौ त्वनामिकाङ्गुष्ठौ तलमध्यगतौ पुनः ।
किंचिद्वक्रा कनिष्ठा सा द्वावन्यावप्युजुक्रियौ ॥
उरस्सूत्रं समालम्ब्य स्तनादधःकुलान्तरे ।
† यज्ञोपवीतवत्कार्य स्कन्धयोरुभयोरपि ॥
पार्श्वयोश्चैव योन्यूर्ध्वं [च्छ*] न्वीरमिदं विदुः ।
