Next, go to the first direction, the eastern gate: Indra deva,
dwelling on Mount Sumeru, wearing a jeweled crown and adorned with necklaces,
holding a single-pronged vajra mudrā in his hand, surrounded by host of devas.
To the left, place the host of Sūrya deva, in an eight-horse chariot,
with two consorts on his left and right: Jayā and Vijayā,
translated as Victory and Invincible; retinue arranged with the planets,
Aṅgāraka on the left and right. Śukra is in the east,
Budha is in the south, Bṛhaspati
is placed north of Sūrya, Śanaiścara in the southeast,
Rāhu in the southwest, Ketu in the northwest,
Dhūmaketupa in the northeast; south of the southern latitude place
Nirghāta-tiangou; north of the northern latitude place
Ulkāpāta-fire; Mārīcī goes before,
flanked and accompanied in protection.
To the right of Great Brahmā and Indra, seated on a seven-goose chariot,
four faces with topknot crowns, four hands: wisdom holds a flower,
next wisdom holds a rosary, samādhi above holds a kuṇḍikā,
samādhi below turns the palm sideways, bending wind and extending the rest straight;
the pure practice auspicious mudrā, named the Oṃ-syllable mudrā.
Mārīcī's precious vase: samādhi hand hollowly forms a fist;
amid all perils, visualize entering into it,
and cover it with the wisdom palm, unseen by the eyes of devas and humans.
The Four Dhyāna Devas are on the left; Anavatapta and the Five Śuddhāvāsa Devas on the right.
Indra's mudrā: inside-bound fist, the two winds erect like pestles.
Sūrya's merit and wisdom hands are each placed beside the water wheels,
openly attached sideways, facing upward like the shape of a chariot.
Jayā and Vijayā: prajñā and samādhi hands,
wind and earth both face inward, water and fire mutually hold each other.
Samādhi and prajñā wheel tips join, void stands erect at the heart;
such are the mudrā marks of the Nine Planets. The rest is as orally transmitted.
Indra's right: Brahmā's mudrā: samādhi void holds water,
resembling the gesture of holding a flower. Wisdom wind is placed on fire,
void holds the middle phalanx of water: the secret mudrā of Brahmā's consort.
Among Indra's retinue: Gandharvas and Asuras;
the previous mudrā inside-bound into a fist, extending water: the mudrā of the Music Deva.
Asura: with the wisdom hand, twist wind above the void wheel.
Nine mudrās and six mantras:
