2.212

"At the eastern gate is Indra! Dwelling on Mount Meru,
adorned with a precious crown and necklaces, holding a single-pronged vajra in his hand,
surrounded by his host of devas. To the left is placed the retinue of Sūrya,
in an eight-horse chariot. His two consorts are on his left and right,
Jayā and Vijayā! Marīci is in front;
the heavens of Infinite Consciousness and Infinite Space! Nothingness and Neither-Perception-Nor-Non-Perception!
Dṛḍhā-pṛthivī and her queen! Bhājanahasta and his queen!
Nityamatta and Tuṣitavaktra! The two gatekeepers on the left and right,
and the two female gatekeepers! Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Mahābrahmā!
The Four Dhyānas and the Five Śuddhāvāsa! Next are the wood-worker, the maker,
the bird-headed, and the rice-eyed; increasing, unstained, and so forth!
Meṣa, Vṛṣabha, Mithuna, the female deities; comets, meteors, and thunderbolts!
The Devaputra Sūrya and his retinue! Indra's mudrā: inner clasp,
extend the two index fingers like needles (the thumbs erect). For Sūrya: palms of merit and wisdom upturned,
place index and ring fingers over the backs of the middle fingers, shaped like a chariot.
For Jayā and Vijayā: prajñā and samādhi hands
have the joints of index and little fingers back-to-back, ring and middle fingers supporting each other,
with thumbs placed side by side at the heart. For the Nine Planets: join the two hands,
and extend both thumbs side by side. Brahmā holds a red lotus (following the Moon mudrā),
with the samādhi thumb touching the ring finger. For the Vidyārājñī: place the index finger over the middle finger,
and hold the middle joint of the ring finger with the thumb. The secret mudrā of the gandharvas:
form an inner clasp and extend the ring finger. For the asuras: using the jñāna hand,
wind the index finger around the thumb (samādhi is as for Sarasvatī and the devas; if making an action mudrā, it may also be done with a single hand)."
