Here when both arms are stretched out simultaneously vyavrtti and parivrtti are executed, one following the other. Pataka hastas reach the chest in vyavrtta, then traversing the forehead area reach the sides and with outstretched arms a circle is executed. This is urdhvamaṇḍala as said by experts in dance. Kutidharacarya says these hastas are generally called cakravartinika.
