The Lord shone like the sombre clouds, soot and the mountains, His body looked like cloud and collyrium Even the hair (on his body) looked like clouds, by His lustre and appearance He looked like a blue mountain He was dressed in yellow and wearing ornaments glowing like burnished gold, His complexion resembling the colour of the smoke arising at the time of the destruction of the universe, He had four arms, hence, His shoulders looked more yellow His shoulders were broad, wearing a diadem armed with high class weapons bright as Heavens majestic like the mountain having serpentlike arrows in His quiver, and Nandaka axe and Śakti, holding conch, quoit, club and the lotus, He looked like a mighty mountain, Forgiveness is the base whereof, Prosperity its tree, the Sâraṅga bow is its peak—22 25
