Her head should be covered with the \*kirīṭa-makuṭa\* and she must be adorned with golden ornaments set with rubies. She should carry in her hands the \*śūla\*, the \*khaḍga\*, the \*śaṅkha\* and the \*chakra\*. Her vehicle is said to be the lion; on either side of this goddess should be the sun and the moon.
