243-247. One should meditate upon Mṛiga, whose face is like that of a deer, as having a deer's complexion, wearing a diadem and holding a pike and a shield; Aditi as having a blue complexion and holding a sword and a skull and adorned with a diadem and (other) ornaments; Udita as having a red complexion and the lion's face, and holding a club: the rest (of their features) should be as stated before. Thus are described those who are assigned to the plots other than those for the immortals (deities).
