[...] According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa as well as the Abhinayadarpaṇa, the uragaśīrṣa posture is used to show some activities like offering of water, giving information, sprinkling, nourishing and wrestling. The Abhinayadarpaṇa states that to establish the picture of a snake, this hand posture is used in Dance.
