 The 56th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 ****************************************
 KaDi-hasthAya Nama:

 One who displays His left lower hand at the hip level to indicate that  samsAram is only thigh deep for those , who seek His refuge.

 One of the Hastha mudhrais of Lord SrInivAsan is the left lower hand  that is bent at the mid thigh level. This is known as the KaDi hastham.

 SrI DakshiNa VenkatEsa suprabhAtham expains this mysterious mudhrA and its  symbolism:

 MaamAsrithasya SumatEArathibhIshaNOapi
 SamsAra Saagara iyAn bhavatheethi noonam
 HasthEna soochayasi NaaTa! KaDisTithEna
 VaamEna BhUmigamithas Tava SuprabhAtham

 Meaning): Oh Lord SrInivAsa! Through Your left lower hand positioned over Your mid thigh , You seem to indicate that the terrorizing samsAram is only thigh deep for those , who seek Your protection . Oh BhUmi NaayakA ! May this be an auspicious dawn to You !
