"... in the middle is Bhagavan Vairochana, with a body white in colour, the two hands in the gesture of supreme enlightenment - holding a five pointed vajra of the tatagatas, a vajra jewel crown with fluttering silks, adorned with various ornaments. Wearing silk-like upper and lower garments. Seated above a lotus and moon with the legs in vajra posture; having the sun's rays as a backrest. With four faces, the first face looks to the East."
