This page contains an iconography image of Time Deities: Navami and Dashami Tithis and represents figure 244-245 of the book Indian Buddhist Iconography, based on extracts of the Sadhanamala English translation.

The Tithis or the distances between the sun and the moon are also deified, but these cannot be properly determined in the absence of definite iconographic information. Some of these Tithis (dates) are found represented in the Chinese collection at Peiping. Figs. 224 and 245 illustrate the Navamī and Daśamī Tithis.
