पादैराकुञ्चितैः किञ्चित् तालाभ्यन्तरपातितैः । स्वसौष्ठवसमायुक्तौ तथा हस्तौ पदानुगौ ॥ १११॥
With slightly bent (ākūñcita) feet falling within the measure of a Tāla, and hands endowed with proper bodily grace (sva-sauṣṭhava), the hands too should follow the movement of the feet.
By holding the hands in the Kaṭakā-vardhamāna gesture, one should enact the gait of the witty character (Viṭa). The gait of a Kāñcukīya (chamberlain or armour-bearer) should be performed according to his stage of life (i.e., age).
An expert performer should represent the Gait of a Kāñcukīya who is not old by raising the feet half a Tāla high and taking straightforward, simple steps.
He should walk as if lifting his limbs with effort, like one stuck in mud. Now, for an old Kāñcukīya, the Gait should be performed with a trembling body.
One whose life seems held back by obstruction, who lifts the feet slowly— even when portraying an emaciated (thin/weak) person, the Gait should be performed with slow, hesitant steps.
