The phrase Padanguli sakti vikasaka’ has arisen out of the name of the organs to which this exercise benefits. The Pada is feet and anguli means fingers and so padanguli means toes of the foot. This exercise strengthens the tendons, ligaments and muscles of toes of the foot.

Precaution of Padanguli Sakti Vikasaka
As usual we should always be more focused on the precautions despite benefits of any exercise. I think this exercise should not have any precautions to be followed except during injury in any part of the feet. Arthritis Patients may do carefully as the pain can increase. In this case, they should massage with red colour charged oil and can also use abdominal wet pack and hot and cold fomentation over the toes.
