Sūta said: By making the idol of the lord as follows and installing it with devotion according to the extent of one’s affluence, one surmounts all obstacles and is honoured in the world of Śiva; the lord as tearing asunder the leading elephant[4] as accompanied by Ambā, as the bestower of all desired objects; as smoke-coloured, red in eyes and adorned with the moon on the forehead, as having three eyes, wearing the sidelocks of hairs, holding the serpent-shaped hatchet, wearing the lion’s hide as his upper garment and the deer skin as the lower one, as having sharp curved fangs and armed with an iron club, holding the skull in his uplifted hand, the lord as rendering all the quarters resonant with loud shouts of “Hum” “Phaṭ” etc., holding the tiger skin[5] and the conch[6] shell in. two of his hands, laughing, roaring and drinking the black ocean[7] (poison) as dancing in the company of Bhūtas (goblins) and surrounded by Gaṇas.
