c13.s2.7
"The worshipper should think himself as Siṃhanāda Lokeśvara of white complexion, with three eyes, and the jaṭāmukuṭa (crown of matted hair). He is without ornaments, is clad in tiger-skin, and sits on a lion in the attitude of princely ease. He is seated on the orb of the moon and is radiant like her. In his right there is a white trident entwined by a white snake, and in his left there is a lotus-bowl full of fragrant flowers. From his left hand rises a lotus on which there is a sword burning like fire".
