When the hastas perform udvestana and apavestana while moving the hands away from the chest to the sides (in an order), and move around, those are uromaṇḍala. Others said these should remain at the chest. A few others have named both the variations as urovartanika. Yet others said this hasta which moves upwards must hold haṁsapakṣa hastas.

[If the same] are turned round each other outward and inward [at chest level] at the front, it is uromaṇḍalin.
3:512-514
The hands in arāla [are placed] near the region of the chest, having moved first in avestita and then in apavestita karanas. Then they are moved around at the sides alternately in circles and again they reach the region of the chest. This is known as uromandalina. Some say that the hands are [simply] moved around the region of the chest. Experts in dance also call it urovartanika. Others [again], suggest haṁsapaksha hands [for this gesture as well as] urdhvamandalina etc.
