Now about the image of Indra the image of Indra should be made with a thousand eyes riding on an infuriated elephant with extensive thigh, chest, and face, shoulders broad like those of a lion, having long and mighty arms, holding a thunderbolt and lotus wearing a coronet and a couple of ear rings having beautiful eyes, armed with a club, adorned with various ornaments, adored by the Devas, the Gandharvas and the nymphs surrounded by a retinue of lady attendants each holding an umbrella and waiving châmara, seated on a throne with Indrâni on his left holding a lotus in Her hand—66 69
