furnishes to his inquiring guest.
Think of him as having a pleased and lovely countenance, with eyes like the leaf
of the lotus, marble cheeks, and a broad and brilliant forehead; ears of equal size,
the lobes of which are decorated with splendid pendants; a painted neck; and a
broad breast, on which shines the Srivatsa mark; a belly falling in graceful folds,
with a deep-seated navel; eight long arms, or else four; and firm and well-knit
thighs and legs, with well-formed feet and toes. Let him, with well-governed
thoughts, contemplate, as long as he can persevere in unremitting attention, Hari,
as clad in a yellow robe, wearing a rich diadem on his head, and brilliant armlets
and bracelets on his arms, and bearing in his hands the bow, the shell, the mace,
the sword, the discus, the rosary, the lotus, and the arrow.
