The uses of this posture are not mentioned in the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺. But according to the 础产丑颈苍补测补诲补谤辫补峁嘺, this posture denotes some round shaped objects like breast of a woman, ball, round shaped cooking pot, egg and bell. This posture is also used to show the blowing buds of flowers like marigold, lotus etc. Some kind of fruits like mango and wood apple are also portrayed with his hand posture.

One should imagine that it [i.e., 辫补谤腻艣补办迟颈鈥攖he supreme energy] enters the other body up to the end of emission (in the End of the Twelve). O goddess, that very moment, (the disciple) is well-pierced and so falls shaking (to the ground). Having visualized (the goddess) entering into the middle of the Heart in the form of a flame, the goddess in the sheath of the lotus [i.e., 辫补诲尘补办辞艣补] (of the Heart) can cause even mountains to fall鈥�.
