Verse 50

⁴⁴And there again he saw the lord of the serpents being praised by siddhas and caranas and gandharvas and by demons with their necks bowed: ⁴⁵the god of a thousand heads, wearing a thousand hoods for his crown, dressed in blue, white as a lotus fibre, standing like the white mountain with its peaks. ⁴⁶On his lap, dark as a rain-cloud, in yellow silk, a Person with four arms, at peace, his eyes red as the petals of a lotus; ⁴⁷a lovely calm face, a lovely smiling look, fine brows and a lifted nose, lovely ears, fine cheeks, a red lip; ⁴⁸long thick arms, high shoulders and a beautiful chest, a throat like a conch, a deep navel, a belly with its folds soft as a young leaf;

⁴⁹broad flanks and hips, and two thighs like an elephant's trunk, a lovely pair of knees, a lovely pair of shins; ⁵⁰ringed about by the light of the mass of red nails on high ankles, his lotus feet shining with the petals that are the fresh toes and great toes;
