In the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra, three kinds of physical gestures are accepted. The gestures expressed with major classification of the body parts are termed as 艣补谤墨谤补 i.e., physical expression, mukhaja i.e., facial expression and 肠别峁ａ弓腻办峁泃补 i.e., different movements of the entire body. The movements of the a峁単as fall in the 艣补谤墨谤补 type of gesture and the expressions of up膩峁単as fall under the mukhaja type of gesture.
