She is dark-coloured. She has auspicious features. She is splendid in the freshness of youth. Eight serpents in four pairs constituie her shining ornaments such as ear-rings, shoulder- lets, girdle and anklets. Their bodies are huge and terrible. She is clad in shoots of leaves as her clothes. Her arms are bedecked in bangles which are adorned with pretty looking peacock feathers. She is resplendent on account of the ruby-.set crown. Her crown, her umbrella and her emblem too are adorned with peacock feathers. The string of berries shines over her breasts where saffron is scattered over. She has a charming face of three eyes. Her lotus-like face wears a sweet smile. Her four hands shine holding a noose, a goad, fearlessness and the granting of boon.
After meditating on goddess Totala (Tvarita) thus, one should worship her surrounded by the Saktis along with Goddess phaTkaaree is staying before Tvaritaa nitya devi shining with arrows and bow.

Ananta, Vasukee, SeSha, padmanaabha, kaMbala, Sankhaphaala, DhrUtaraaShTra, TakShaka, Kaleeya are the Nine Nagas. In this Dhaynasloka only 8 are referred and it is not understandable as to why these 7 Serpents are classified into 4 varnas. However, instead of debating on this let us meditate on Twarita Devi as wearing these serpents as Ornaments.
