A first look at the lesson
The fleshy pads of the palm are parvatas (mounts). Each is named for a graha:
A mount that is full and firm gives its graha's good qualities (a full Venus warmth and vitality, a full Moon imagination); one that is flat shows them lacking, and one overdeveloped shows them in excess.
