दण्डहस्तन्तु मानेन मूर्ध्नि केशाक्षमेव वा ।
अभयं दक्षिणं हस्तं भ्रूमात्रं कूर्परादयः ॥ २७ ॥

daṇḍahastantu mānena mūrdhni keśākṣameva vā |
abhayaṃ dakṣiṇaṃ hastaṃ bhrūmātraṃ kūrparādayaḥ || 27 ||

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

The hand of the rod may be placed on the head with respect, or the hair and eyes may be placed on the head. Fearlessness is the right hand, only the eyebrows, the hips and so on.
