(Narach means Markat bandh) binding bones together. Sticking them together with joints lengthwise and crosswise as if bones are like nails.

(5) Keelikasamhanan : Setting together bones as if by nails so that they may not be separated.

The body above the hub or navel being proportionate in respect of features and below devoid of proper features.
