In a few 첹ṇa of Śiva, this posture of the feet is found.

岵Ի (नागबन्�) refers to one of the twenty-four ղٲ (“movements of the arm�), discussed in Kallinātha’s commentary on Saṅgistaratnākara of Śārṅgadeva (1953: Vol. IV: p.105).—Kallinātha says that in spite of Śārṅgadeva not having mentioned these, he will describe the ٲ which have been expounded by Kohala. He proceeds to give a quotation of Kohala from the work Saṅgītameru which gives the definitions of twenty four kara-ٲ. In addition to these ٲ another set of seven have also been mentioned. These are [for example, 岵Ի] [...] Kohala says that in the case of these ٲ, their names themselves make their ṣaṇa clear and therefore he has mentioned only their names.
