The show of ‘mudrA’ is technically called ‘abhinaya’.
To exhibit whatever mood there is internally, by the expression in the face, or
by a symbolic gesture of the hands or feet is called ‘abhinaya’. Particularly,
that shown by the fingers of the hands is called a ‘mudrA’. It is the science
of tantra that prescribes the ‘mudrAs’.
The science and art of dancing has adapted only these ‘mudrAs’.
The bottomline of this shloka is to say that all this business of
hand mudrAs belongs only to the other deities. Ambaal does not show any of
these mudrAs. Obviously one is thinking here of the Goddess
Lalita-tripura-sundari only.
