v2.c17.s1.254

The image of Jagannātha differs from the last in having circular eyes, a straight head-line, a square knob on the head and black colour. Its nose is as large and hooked as that of Balabhadra, but placed on a black ground in a dark room it does not appear quite so prominent. The mouth is crescent-shaped (Woodcut No. 12.). The size is slightly shorter than that of Balabhadra, the total being 84 *yavas*, disposed as follows: Face from head to mouth 34·75, mouth to chin 12, breast 9, waist 10·50, lower part 15·75 *yavas*.
