Quality of the handindianvery-rare
श्रीराधा कर-कमल चिह्न
Also called: lotus hand symbols of Radha Devi · 18 left / 17 right
Where on the hand: The palms and fingertips of both hands — eighteen marks on the left, seventeen on the right, plus the three great lines on each.
What it looks like: A palm carrying discrete emblem-figures spread across the mounts, with a whorl-like disc or a spiral conch drawn on each of the five fingertips, and the Life, Fate and Good-Fortune lines running through beneath them.
The most explicitly palm-relevant of the divine-hand inventories. Twenty-four of these marks are held to be common to the lotus hands of Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā. Note the structure this implies for palmistry: the divine hand carries the same three main lines as the human hand, plus a full inventory of symbols occupying the mounts and fingertips — so the palmistic method is a search for how many divine marks a given hand happens to carry.
Read with care: Source correction: the Rādhā hand-marks (17 right / 18 left) are correct member-for-member, but their source is Rūpa Gosvāmī's Rādhā-kṛṣṇa-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā 160–161.
