The meanings of color, smell, taste, touch, visible form, and body are known to everyone. Bodily configuration (Samsthāna) refers to the shape of the physical body. There are six kinds of bodily configurations (Samsthāra): (a) Samacaturasra, (b) Nyagrodhaparimamdala, (c) Svāti, (d) Kubjaka, (e) Vāmana, and (f) Hundaka. A perfectly symmetrical body is known as Samacaturasra. Nyagrodhaparimamdala refers to a body that is top-heavy. Svāti refers to a body that is long and thin. Kubjaka is used to signify a body that is hunch-backed, a dwarfish body is called Vāmana, and Hundaka means an ugly body.
Skeletal structure (Samhanana) specifies the nature of joints of the bones. There are six types of joints: (a) VajraVrşabhaNārāca, (b) VajraNārāca, (c) Nārāca, (d) ArdhaNārāca, (e) Kīlika, and (f) Asamprāptāsșapātikā.
