varṇataḥ padmagarbhābha ścaturbāhuḥ śubhekṣaṇaḥ.
kamaṇḍaluṃ vāmakare sruvaṃ haste tu dakṣiṇe .. 260.41

The complexion should be reddish like the bed of the lotus with four hands, five faces, holding a kamaṇḍalu in the left hand, sacrificial ladle in the right and a staff and Sruva in the left and right of the other set of hands, and with the Devas, seers Gandharvas praying all round Him. He should be represented as engaged in the work of creation, wearing white raiments, deer skin, and a sacred thread.—41-43
