अंगुष्ठस्य प्रदेशिन्या व्यासप्रादेश उच्यते / तालः स्मृतो मध्यमया गोकर्णश्चाप्यनामया
aṃguṣṭhasya pradeśinyā vyāsaprādeśa ucyate / tālaḥ smṛto madhyamayā gokarṇaścāpyanāmayā
The measure formed by the thumb and the forefinger is called vyāsa-prādeśa; by the middle finger it is remembered as tāla, and by the ring finger as gokarṇa as well.
