When the Index finger of the Suchi Mudra is bent, we get the Tamrachuda hasta. Also while the doing the Mukula hasta, if the Index finger is held like a question mark, we get the Tamrachuda. Tamrachua means a Cock or a Cocks head.

Lets see the Viniyoga shloka

Kukkutadau bake kake ushtre vatse cha lekhane
yujyate tamrachudakhyaha karo bharatavedibhihi

This shloka says that tamrachuda can denote :

• A Rooster, Cock
• A birds head
• A Heron, Crane
• A Crow
• A Camel
• A Calf
• A pen that is used to engrave.
