Siva-Narayana
____I (Mandan) now describe the. statue of Siva-Narayana, the absolver of all sins. The left half of the idol is like Madhava (Vishnu) and the right half like Shulapani (Siva). (37).
The left half is dark in colour and has two arms adorned with keyura armlets made of rubies. A conchshell and a disc are held in the two hands, the fingers. of which are (decorated) red (38). Alternatively, a mace may be •depicted instead of the disc held in the lower arm. The rest of the left-half of the statue should be adorned with a shining jewelled waistband and other adornments (39), and depicted clad in yellow raiments, with rubies adding lustre to the (left) foot.
The right half of the idol of Siva-Narayana should be made possessing matted jata locks, crowned by a crescent-moon, symbolic of Siva (40). Make a garland of snakes around the neck, and one right hand in the varad or boon-conferring position and the other holding a trident (41). The Siva half of the statue wears a snake as the sacred upaveeta string and has a deer-skin girdling the waist (as befits Siva, the Krittivassa). The foot is adorned by rubies (mani) and other gems (ratna), as well as by snakes. (42). Such is Siva-Narayana who absolves sin.
