The yantra-like linear composition is brought about by the triangles of arms and torso pointing downward, and corresponding triangles pointing upward, i.e. from knees to point of flame halo, and from the two upper hands to the same point. - [Previous: c8.307](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.307) - [Next: c8.309](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.309) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.308](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.308) · Pramāṇa
