The other way to look at it would be when two Sarpashirsha is held together we get the Pushpaputa Hasta.
Let take a look at the Viniyoga Shloka (uses)
Neeranjanavidhau variphaladigrahanepi cha
sandhyayamardhyadane cha mantrapushpe cha yujyate
Thus according to the shloka, Pushpaputa is used to denote the following:
- Indicate waving of lights to gods (to perform Aarti)
- Acceptance of water or any fruits etc.
- To show offerings to Gods
- Offering floral tributes at the time of Mantra puja.
It can also be used to show a plate or bowl. An act of giving is also indicated by using this Hasta.
