Also called: shrivatsa · the mark of Śrī

Where on the hand: Palm surface — chiefly an iconographic rather than a working-palmistry mark; in iconography it sits on the chest of Viṣṇu or of a Tīrthaṅkara.

What it looks like: An endless-knot-like curl, or in the Jain form a symmetrical four-lobed flourish. On a palm it would present as a small symmetrical interlaced knot of two or three curves.

The permanent residence of Śrī (Lakṣmī); the mark of the divine bearer. One of the Jain aṣṭamaṅgala and one of the 80 minor marks said to appear on the palms of a Great Being.

Read with care: Effectively iconographic only — not a mark working palmists report finding on ordinary hands.
