Also called: Sathiya · svastika

Where on the hand: Anywhere on the palm; especially auspicious on the Bhagya Rekha (Fate line) and on Guru Parvat.

What it looks like: Two lines crossing at right angles at their midpoints, each of the four arms bent at a right angle near its tip, all four bends turning the same way. In palm terms, most often produced where a short vertical and a short horizontal line cross and each has a small terminal branch. A partial or 'half' swastika — a cross with only two or three bent arms — is read as weakened.

Virtue and the righteous path; the highest posts; respect, wealth and fame; success in all four puruṣārthas (dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa). 'Surprising financial gains' — even those born poor become wealthy by their own effort. The Garuḍa Purāṇa states flatly that the svastika sign indicates royalty.

Read with care: Citation correction: the svastika is NOT in Bṛhat Saṃhitā 70 — the 23-item queen-making list at 70.10 does not contain it, and a term search of the chapter returns nothing. It IS in Garuḍa Purāṇa LXV (“that of Svasthika indicates royalty”) and it is the first of the Jain aṣṭamaṅgala. Cite those. Source withdrawn: “Rāvaṇa Saṃhitā” cannot be substantiated as a text containing palmistry. There is no critical edition and no manuscript-catalogue entry; the name attaches to an Ayurvedic Arka-kalpa work, a tantric Ḍāmara-type compilation, and modern Hindi trade volumes — none with an attested hasta-rekhā section.
