Sūta said: His abode is liked by all among Devas and Asuras. By making the idol of the lord as follows and by installing it, one is liberated from the ocean of worldly existence:—The lord shows gestures. He has the ashes from the funeral pyre for his unguent; he has the triple mark of Tripuṇḍra; he wears a garland made of skulls; he wears a single sacred thread constituted by the hairs of Brahmā; with his left hand he holds the excellent skull of Brahmā; as Parameṣṭhin he adopts the body of Viṣṇu.
