Mudranighantu
Placing both hands forward all their fingers be entwined with each other. Thumb and middle fingers be then joined and extended. This is Maha Mudra, which provides supreme emancipation. 139
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
O Maheśāni! Mudras of Tripuri described by me should be exhibited at the time of worship in their mentioned order.
Making a fist of the left hand it should be taken near the ears. Making fore finger straight, a high Sadhaka who knows the Mantras, should turn it in a circular manner. Euhibited at the time of Nyasa also, this is the Saubhagyadāyini Mudra.
Keeping the thumb inside the fist it should be pressed by the fore finger. Exhibited at the time of Nyasa is this, the Ripujihva Mudra.
142
Making the Yoni Mudra one should bend the middle fingers. The tips of the thumbs be placed at the tips of the middle fingers. This is the Bhūtini Mudra.
143
Pressing the fore and middle fingers one should bind a fist by the left hand. The fisted right hand should then be hardened and its fore finger point forward. This is Tarjani Mudrā. 144
The characteristics of each of the Mudras have been described separately, which at the time of Worship, Japa and Bathing when exhibited bring the Sadhaka nearer to the Deity. These should be kept secret and not disclosed to a treacherous person.
