[...] (The second face) is dark like a storm cloud and the eyes red as blood. It has fierce fangs and is adorned with snakes for earrings. The expression is mildly fierce and a skull (adorns) the topknot on the head. The third face is on the left. It is yellow and red and shines with brilliant rays, its light (pure) divine radiant energy [i.e., divyateja-samaprabha]. It is beautiful with many gems and the ears are adorned with earrings. It bears a radiantly brilliant diadem and crown”.
