“The worshipper should meditate on goddess Āryatārā as one-faced and two-armed of deep green complexion, fully decked in all ornaments, of youthful appearance, clad in celestial garments, holding on her crown the miniature figure of the parental Dhyāni Buddha Amoghasiddhi. The deity should further be meditated upon as sitting in the ardhaparyaṅka attitude and showing the gift-bestowing signal in the right hand and carrying a full-blown lotus in the left hand.
