"Within the western gate on the left and right are the wrathful Aparājita
and Abhimukha opposite! Nanda and Upananda,
as well as all the earth deities! The Dragon King Varuṇa,
in divine form resembling a woman, with dragon radiance, using a turtle as a seat.
The host of grasping planets, the honored constellations! Mithuna, Mahātejas!
Kanyā, Vṛścika, Dhanus, and Tulā! Candra and the devīs,
the devas, manuṣyas! Cāmuṇḍā, Kaumārī!
The two devīs of Indra and Brahmā! Īśvarī and consort Umā!
To the north of the gate should be arranged: Virūpākṣa, the host of dragons,
and the dragon king's queen and retinue! Nārāyaṇa, the consort of Viṣṇu,
Sarasvatī, Yama, the moon consort Candra,
the drum deity and singing devīs! The singing deities and host of musical deities!
Vāyu along with his retinue! Divine messengers and consorts!
Varuṇa holds a noose; for the dragons, overturn and spread the palms,
the two thumbs interlinked; for the two dragons, the left and right palms
are reciprocally superimposed. The earth deity holds a precious vase.
Sarasvatī is Wonderful Voice: the prajñā index finger holds the thumb,
moving as if playing music; that is this deity's vīṇā mudrā.
Nārāyaṇa holds a wheel: spread and extend the samādhi palm.
His queen's mudrā: the thumb holds the index finger, forming a full wheel shape.
The youth Skanda! Three-headed, riding a peacock.
Śaṅkara's trident mudrā: the samādhi thumb is placed on its own little finger
(the three fingers are spread, touching the little fingernail to form the addition, palms facing thumbs joined to form a moon); the queen's mudrā: the thumb holds the little finger (three combined).
The queen's secret [mudrā]: open the three fingers. For Cāmuṇḍā, with samādhi palm
upturned, hold a kapāla. For the Moon Deva, the samādhi mudrā (half of Avalokiteśvara's mudrā)
holds a white lotus; the secret of the asterisms: cross the middle fingers and thumbs.
Vāyu's wind banner: form the jñāna fist and erect the little and ring fingers,
all surrounded by retinues."
