v2.c16.s10.4
On the left of Śiva there should be Umā standing in a state of mental uneasiness * which emotion must be portrayed on her face by the sculptor. The right leg of Umā should be somewhat bent, while the left one should be straight. Her right hand should be hanging down freely and the left one should be carrying in it a flower; or, the right hand might be holding a few folds of the cloth about her thigh.
