Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It frames external marks and bodily constitution as indicators of past merit and present fortune (Lakṣmī), encouraging a dharmic life that supports higher aims like mokṣa.

Applied lakṣaṇa-śāstra (Samudrika/physiognomy) aligned with Jyotiṣa-style typology—classifying a ‘Ravi’ (solar) nature through observable traits like eyes, build, hair, and doṣa (pitta).
