2) Walking in Tiredness (due to penance) is associated with Sthira-gati: one of the various Gatis (鈥渨ay of walking鈥�).鈥擲thira-gati denotes the steady movements. To show walking in fever, hunger, disease, tiredness due to penance, dissimulation, excitement, love and sorrow or ease, slow gait should be adopted by the artist.
