The worshipper should meditate on the navel the form of Sitaprajñāpāramitā, as two-armed, one-faced, white in colour, and beautiful in appearance, with half curly hair, as sitting on the white lotus, carrying in her right hand the red lotus, and the Prajñāpāramitā Book in her left. She sits in the Vajraparyaṅka attitude, and is decked in all sorts of ornaments. She originates from the knowledge of the letter ‘Aṃ’ and releases immense delight... This goddess is stamped with the image of Akṣobhya (on the crown).”
