Periya Atthi-churukki (right)
Right lower rib / lumbar flank — padu-varmam
Periya Atthi-churukki is a padu-varmam recorded at the lower floating-rib and flank region, projected here toward the anatomical-right lumbar field. The front-view dot is deliberately broad because the traditional finger-breadth descriptions and modern anatomical correlations do not supply a single reproducible lumbar surface coordinate.

The Varma Sūthiram / Varma Sūtra tradition is cited for the named Periya Atthi-churukki padu-varmam. Since the surviving palm-leaf and modern print recensions do not share stable verse numbering or a single reproducible coordinate, this note records the traditional designation without claiming more precision.
