A shield, a full bow, a string, a stick, a high flag, a bell, or an axe can be rested in Her left hands.
Beneath that, a buffalo with a head belonging to it should be shown. One should show the demon
as emerging out from the body of beheaded buffalo, holding a scymitar in hands.[56]

One should show his heart as pierced by a spear, without mercy. One should decorate his body
with blood of red color and his red eyes should be opened wide. One should show him as tied
with a ngapa (snake-chain), and his eyebrows should be meeting on a scary head. One should
show his hairs held together by the left hand of Durg. [78]
