PLATES 4 & 5.
No other meaning is attached to these figures, but that they are pleasing to the Deities. The Brahmin commences with the figure No. 1, Soon-mookum (the closed lotus); then gradually spreading his fingers, describes the full-blown flower. He then makes the sign of Ek-mookum, Do-mookum, Teen-mookum, Choutah-mookum, and then the rest of the figures illustrated in Plates 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. These are called Moodras, of which there are twenty-four in the Sundhya.
