She has ascended the shining throne made of the sun, moon, and fire. She holds in her hands a hook, a snare, arrows (śareṣu [=śara+iṣu?]), and a bow, and carries the crescent moon on her crest. She is pure and clean, and her eyes, adorned with the tips of the locks of hair, are very beautiful. [...]”.
