The tradition assumes that every natural or acquired bodily mark encodes its owner's psychology and destiny. Elevation, depression, elongation, diminution, and other marks become relevant. There are five main types of human elements in terms of the {{transl|sa|Samudrika: Agni, Vayu, Jal, Akash}} and {{transl|sa|Prithvi}}. Traditional stories in [[India]] thus abound with descriptions of rare auspicious markings found on the bodies of memorable people. Legends about the [[Rama]] and Krishna [[Avatar]]s, [[Gautama]] the Buddha, and [[Mahavira]] the [[Tirthankara]] conform to this tradition. | The tradition assumes that every natural or acquired bodily mark encodes its owner's psychology and destiny.
