आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

In Indian dance, sculpture, and ritual,
tarjini hasta is the name for a particular
hand gesture (hasta) in which the hand
is closed except for the index finger,
which is pointing upward as if to
admonish or scold the viewer. The word
tarjini is derived from a verb that can
mean either “to threaten” or “to censure”—both of which can be understood
from this gesture.
