Tad eva (like the Makara-toraṇa) pārśvayor madhyaṁ pūritaṁ cha dvayor (makarayor) api ।
Nakra-tuṇḍa-prāg-grahaiś cha tayor āsya-vinirgataiḥ ॥
Vidyādharaiś cha bhūtaiś cha siṁhe(-hairi)va vyāla-haṁsakair api ।
Bāle srag-daṇḍakair anyair maṇi-bandhair vichitritam ॥
Chitra-toraṇaṁ etat syād devānāṁ bhū-bhṛitāṁ varam ।
Ihāsu pratimādyāsu pādāḥ sarvāṅga-śobhitāḥ ॥
Chatur-asrāshṭa-vṛittābhā kumbha-maṇḍyā saṁyutāḥ ।
Pottikā-sahitā vā syur viyyuktā vā prakīrtitāḥ ॥
Utsandhād avalambaṁ tu kuryān makara-pṛishṭhakam ॥
(*Kāmikāgama*, LV, 66-70.)
