2.283

In the northeast is Īśāna, with his retinue of bhūtas and the like;
At the north gate is Vaiśravaṇa, along with mothers, grandmothers, and the like,
Śrīmahādevī, with male and female retinue and the like.
The characteristics of their mudrās shall now be spoken.
For Īśāna, make the samādhi fist,
Erecting the fire element against its back.
For Vaiśravaṇa, hollow-palmed añjali,
With both earth fingers crossing inside the palms,
The wind fingers erect and resting against the sides of the ether fingers,
Not touching by one inch.
Next, to the left, the Mahāyakṣa:
Interlace the samādhi and prajñā fingers internally into a fist,
Erect the water fingers and bend the two wind fingers.
For all yakṣiṇīs:
From the previous mudrā, extend the fire wheels,
With earth and ether fingers holding each other.
East of the gate is the piśāca:
Form an internal bind and extend the fire fingers.
Bend the fire wheels from that previous mudrā,
And that is called the piśācī mudrā.
