The right leg of the god should be resting on the lotus pedestal; the left leg is used with the foot drawn up and with the toe lifted up should be placed on the bosom of Kāla. The god should have a face with beautiful teeth, three eyes and a crown of jaṭāmukuṭa (vide p. 46) with four hands or with eight hands. The first right hand should have the \*śūla\* used up to the end of the ear; the other right hand should have the \*paraśu\* (axe) or the gift-betowing symbol; the other left hand should suggest surprise.
