आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

In Indian dance, sculpture, and ritual, a
particular symbolic hand gesture
(mudra), in which the tips of the thumb
and index finger are touching, with the
rest of the fingers extended and the
palm facing the viewer. This is the hand
gesture used to signify explanation or
exposition, and for this reason it is also
known as the vyakhyana (“teaching”)
mudra. Since the teaching gesture indicates a person of higher spiritual attainment, it is also known as the chit (“consciousness”) mudra.
