Whew! This is the kind of situation where forcing the definition to be a single sentence seems like a mistake. Equinox 22:01, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

At least it's clear (at the cost of conciseness). --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Looking at citations, it seems that writers believe starting positions for "standing" Indian wrestling can differ: upper limbs: handshake grip, hands on elbows, arms locked (arm-in-arm); lower limbs: foot to foot, legs locked)
A significantly different sense appears in physical education manuals: a starting position with the contestants lying on their back on the floor; shoulders together, but legs in opposite directions; somehow locking limbs; the object being to put one's opponent face down.
I'll try this when my head is clearer. DCDuring TALK 13:05, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
