________________ If Vamanadi of a person, having dirgharekha (long lines), dances at the root of the hand (wrist), he will live for more than fifty years. In conclusion Nadivijnanam (VV. 62-64) deals with the curability of a disease, etc., on the basis of the movement of the pulse of a patient, not leaving its own place (the base of the thumb finger) and if the pulse is considered thin. A well-expression, purity of the pulse and staying at its own place, no1estlessness and no slowness of the pulse of a person are all auspicious symptoms. Fullness of fault of restlessness, hardness, too much slowness of the pulse, vomiting of blood, thinness, leaving of its own place ( base ), feebleness and its crooked movement are all bad (inauspicious) symptoms ( dustalaksanam ). A study of Nadivijnanan of Maharsi Kanada thus reveals that the movement (or beating) of the pulse at the root of the thumb is the witness to the soul contained in the body. Different kinds of movement or beating of the pulse indicating different kinds of disease as found in Nadivijnanam can be compared with the beatings of the pulse in the case of some diseases on the basis of symptomology of diseases and nature of Homeopathic medicines.
