The Sitātapatrā with a thousand arms and a thousand eyes.


The white Sitātapatrā with a thousand arms and a thousand eyes is as follows. Her two hundred faces in the east are blue, the two hundred faces in the south are yellow, the two hundred faces in the west are red, the two hundred faces in the north are green, and the two hundred faces above are white. Each face has three round eyes. The head is marked with the permanent blazing. As a sign of the perfection of the great body, there is a vajra. In the first right hand, he makes the mudrā of the wheel. In all the other hands, he holds ninety‑nine wheels. He holds a hundred vajras, a hundred lotuses, and a hundred blazing vajras, and in the first of his left hands, he holds a parasol handle with an arrow. In the first of his left hands, he holds a male arrow and a parasol handle. In all the other hands he holds ninety‑nine blazing arrows, a hundred bows, a hundred iron hooks, a hundred lassos, and a hundred blazing swords. He is adorned with a jewelled crown, a necklace, an earring, a bracelet, a necklace, and all kinds of jewelled ornaments. All of his pores are marked with the blazing light of the fire of the aeon. With the five hundred right bent, he suppresses all male spirits such as the king, and with the five hundred left legs extended, he suppresses all female spirits such as the one who steals the vitality. With the great wide vajra, he holds sway over the mandala of the three worlds. There are inconceivable benefits of meditating and reciting his mantras such as destroying all the spirits and obstructors of all sentient beings.
