how can i find start line of any functions or procedures stored in package body?
Why? What will you do differently if a procedure starts on line 173 instead of line 254?
Tell us what PROBLEM you are trying to solve so we can help you find the best way to solve it.
If you use PL_SCOPE that info is available in the *_IDENTIFIERS views. See 'Using PL/Scope in the Advanced Dev Doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28424/adfns_plscope.htm
Try this simple sample code. The query is modified from that doc sample:
-- tell the compiler to collect the info
ALTER SESSION SET PLSCOPE_SETTINGS='IDENTIFIERS:ALL';
-- recompile the package
CREATE OR REPLACE package SCOTT.pack1 as
PROCEDURE proc1;
PROCEDURE proc2;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE package BODY SCOTT.pack1 as
PROCEDURE proc1 IS
BEGIN
  NULL;
END;
PROCEDURE proc2 IS
BEGIN
  proc1;
END;
PROCEDURE proc3 IS
BEGIN
  proc1;
  proc2;
END;
END;
-- query the info for the package spec
WITH v AS (
  SELECT    Line,
            Col,
            INITCAP(NAME) Name,
            LOWER(TYPE)   Type,
            LOWER(USAGE)  Usage,
            USAGE_ID,
            USAGE_CONTEXT_ID
    FROM USER_IDENTIFIERS
      WHERE Object_Name = 'PACK1'
        AND Object_Type = 'PACKAGE'
SELECT LINE, RPAD(LPAD(' ', 2*(Level-1)) ||
                 Name, 20, '.')||' '||
                 RPAD(Type, 20)||
                 RPAD(Usage, 20)
                 IDENTIFIER_USAGE_CONTEXTS
  FROM v
  START WITH USAGE_CONTEXT_ID = 0
  CONNECT BY PRIOR USAGE_ID = USAGE_CONTEXT_ID
  ORDER SIBLINGS BY Line, Col
LINE,IDENTIFIER_USAGE_CONTEXTS
1,Pack1............... package             declaration        
2,  Proc1............. procedure           declaration        
3,  Proc2............. procedure           declaration        
-- query the info for the package body - change 'PACKAGE' to 'PACKAGE BODY' in the query above
