Jaya-Durgā should have three eyes and four arms in which she should be shown as carrying the \*śaṅkha\*, the \*chakra\*, the \*khaḍga\* and the \*triśūla\*. The colour of this form of Durgā is black. The crescent moon adorns the crown of this goddess also; the vehicle of Jaya-Durgā is a lion; her lustre is said to spread throughout the three worlds. This form of Durgā should be worshipped by those who desire to attain \*siddhi\*.
