Ṣaḍaṅga Nyāsa
In Paraśurāma Kalpa Sūtra (PKS 3.19) we find directions on the performance of Ṣaḍaṅga Nyāsa. The scripture tells us that the establishment in the six limbs, is done by placing the number of fingers with the counts three, two, one, ten, three, two, respectively at the six points in the body. The commentator Rameshvara notes that according to Dakṣiṇāmūrti Samhita the meaning is - the heart is done with the middle three fingers, the head with two fingers (middle and the ring fingers), the śikha with one finger (thumb), kavaca with 10 fingers, the eyes with three middle fingers and the astra with two fingers (index and middle fingers).
