v1.c8.116
Figures of goddesses sculptured in company with their consorts are always represented as having only two arms. In one of their hands they hold a flower. However, when there are two Dēvis, one on either side of a god, the goddess on the right holds a *padma*, (see Pl. IV, figs. 11, 12 and 13), while the goddess on the left, holds a *nīlōtpala* (see Pl. IV, fig. 14).
