3.91

"Inside the western gate, to the left and right, are the wrathful Aparājita,
facing Abhimukha, Nanda, Upananda,
and the various earth deities; the nāga king Varuṇa,
heavenly in form with female appearance, radiant like a nāga, with a tortoise as his seat,
surrounded by nāga hosts. The revered planetary deities of the constellations,
in pairs opposite each other, emit great light: Makara, Vṛścika, Dhanus, and Tulā mansions;
planetary deities of the moon and goddess devas, male devas, and Manuṣya;
Cāmuṇḍā, Kaumārī, the two devīs of Indra and Brahmā,
and Īśvara's consort Umā. To the north of the gate should be arranged
Virūpākṣa's nāga host, nāga queen attendants,
Nārāyaṇa's consort Vaiṣṇavī, Sarasvatī, Skanda,
Candra's consort Candrī, the drum deva, singing devīs,
singing and music deva hosts, Vāyu together with his retinue,
angel attendants and consorts, etc. Varuṇa holds a noose;
for the nāgas, spread the palms face down, the two thumbs entwined with each other.
For the two nāgas, with left and right palms, mutually cross over each other.
The earth deity holds a precious vase. Sarasvatī is none other than Myōon [Sarasvatī];
the wisdom index finger holds the thumb, moving as if playing music.
That is the vīṇā mudrā of that deity. Nārāyaṇa holds a discus;
the concentration palm is spread open. His consort's seal: thumb holds index finger,
rounded in the shape of a wheel. Skanda Kumāra,
three-headed, riding a peacock. Śaṅkara's trident mudrā:
concentration thumb presses its own little finger (slightly bend three fingers; separated thumb pinching the nail of the little finger is called 'adding across'; joining them is called 'holding').
For his consort's mudrā, the thumb holds the little finger; for the consort's secret [mudrā], the three fingers open (upright in front).
For Cāmuṇḍā, inner clasp, middle fingers joined and placed upon the crown.
The Moon Deity's samādhi hand (or thumb pinching the first joint of the middle finger; one should visualize the white moon within a flower)
holds a white lotus. For constellations' secret [mudrā], middle fingers and thumbs cross.
For Vāyu, the Wind Deity's banner: wisdom fist with little and ring fingers upright (thumb inside),
all surrounded by retinues."
