The lion is the next riding animal described (in Chapter LXIII). The Mountain-Maid Pārvatī rides on him. He is made in an erect, sitting, or recumbent posture. His four legs are like those of the tiger. His colour is white but his mane should be red. His nails and teeth are crescent-shaped. He, also, is not measured in any *tāla* system. His tail is generally equal to his height.
