When those (above) hastas are placed at the sides, the hastas facing each other, these are called pārśvamaṇḍali hastas. To make the name appropriate to the movement, other scholars have directed that aviddha arms must rotate on their respective sides below the shoulder level. These hastas are also called kaksavartinika.
