    anyonyahastakalita Tatpur. m. f. n. (-taḥ-tā-tam) Held reci-

    procally in (his several) hands. This word occurs in an

    example of permutation, given in the Līlavatī, where the

    question is put, ‘how many are the variations of form of

    the god Śiva by the exchange of his ten attributes held reci-

    procally in his hands viz. the rope, the elephant's hook &c.,

    as those of Viṣṇu by the exchange of the mace &c.?’ (the

    practical purpose apparently being to know the number of

    variations that may be effected in the representation of the

    idol): pāśāṅkuśāhiḍamarūkakapālaśūlaiḥ . khaṭvāṅgaśaktiśaracā-

    payutairbhavanti . anyonyahastakalitaiḥ kati mūrtibhedāḥ śambhorhareriva

    gadārisarojaśaṅkhaiḥ (The answer is in the case of Śiva:

    3628800; in that of Viṣṇu: 24; and Colebrooke adds (Alg.

    p. 124 note): ‘the 24 different representations of Viṣṇu,

    arising from his diversity in the manner of placing the

    weapons or attributes in his four hands, are distinguished

    by as many discriminative titles of the god allotted to those

    figures in the theogonies of the Purāṇas. It does not ap-

    pear that distinct titles have been in like manner assigned

    to any part of the more than three millions of varied re-

    presentations of Śiva’.) E. anyonya-hasta and kalita.
