Where on the hand: Horizontal lines encircling the wrist just below the palm, at the base of the hand below Ketu Parvat.

Three clear bracelets are read as अच्छी विद्या और धन — good learning and wealth — plus virtuous past-life karma and longevity. The manibandha is also the base from which several other marks take their meaning: a rising line, a triangle, a net, a fish.

Three lines from the wrist reaching mid-palm signify kingship.Bṛhat Saṃhitā
