Yoga-Mudrā
The position of sitting in which the palms of the hands in the form of lotus-buds should be laid upon one another beside the belly.1 Vira Mudra
__Same as Varada-Mudrā-(giving a boon'). The posture, in which one sits at ease and keeps one's hands opening outwards.2 Many of the figures of the Yakṣiṇīs and Vidyādevis already described bear this Mudrā.
प्रणोणंतरि अंगुलिको साकारेहिं दोहि हत्थेहिं । पिट्ठोवरि कोप्परयं ढिएहिं तह जोगमुछत्ति ।।
Pañca, Viva. सुखासनस्थस्य वरदाकारी हस्तौ वीरमुद्रा सर्वरक्षाकरी।
Acaradinakara.
