Nabhi / Nābhi-varmam

Navel centre — thodu-varmam subset

Nabhi-varmam is included as a thodu-varmam representative at the umbilical centre, a major regional landmark in Tamil varma classifications. It is not counted as one of the twelve padu records in this selection; the point is shown to make the neck-to-navel and navel-to-pelvis teaching divisions visible without claiming that all schools use the same name.
