A detailed notice of the contents of these chapters has already been made in the Study—vide Vol. II (published first). Here, in brief, it is indicated that these three chapters describe the three broad categories of poses and postures in which the images of Hindu divinities are shown—hand poses (cf. Patākā etc. 78th Chapter), the postures of leg (cf. the Vaiṣṇava etc. 77th Chapter) and the composite poses of the body itself (cf. the Ṛjvāgata etc. the different attitudes—the nine principal attitudes—chapter 76th).
