अङ्गुष्ठस्य तु मूले या सा नाडी जीवसाक्षिणी ।

तस्या गतिवशाद् विद्यात् सुखं दुःखञ्च रोगिणाम् ॥ ( नाडीविज्ञानम् – 14)

ಮಾನವನ ಕೈಯ ಹೆಬ್ಬೆರಳ ಬುಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಾದ ನಾಡಿಯಿರುವುದು. ಇದರ ಪರಿಶೀಲನೆಯಿಂದ ಜೀವಿಯ ಸುಖ, ದುಃಖ, ರೋಗ, ರೋಗದ ಸಂಭವಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಯಬಹುದಾಗಿದೆ.

We can know one’s happiness, misery, sickness and about the diseases which are likely to happen by inspecting the vein which is present beneath the thumb finger of human hand.
