She has two arms and three eyes and is endowed with all the ornaments. She is adorned with matted hair and a crown. She holds a skull in her left hand that is filled with nectar. Adorned with necklace and anklets [i.e., hārakeyūra-bhūṣitā], one should think of her as devoted to eating and drinking”.
