### [v3.c19.194](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19.194)

There are two kinds of images of Jyēṣṭhā, says the \*Viṣṇudharmōttara\*, namely, the Rakta-Jyēṣṭhā and Nila-Jyēṣṭhā; both of them are seated figures having their feet touching the ground. They have each only one pair of hands. These forms of the goddess are to be praised and propitiated by heroes.
