(The three faces separate; and three great gods appear.
The first, who is pink, bites the end of his great toe.
The second, who is blue, uplifts his four arms.
The third, who is green, wears a necklace of human skulls.
Before them instantly arise three goddesses—one is enveloped in a net; another offers a cup; the third brandishes a bow.
... instantly arise three goddesses
And these gods, these goddesses, decuple themselves, multiply. Arms grow from their shoulders; at the end of these arms hands appear bearing standards, axes, bucklers, swords, parasols and drums. Fountains gush from their heads, plants grow from their nostrils.
Riding upon birds rocked in palanquins, enthroned upon seats of gold, standing in ivory niches,—they dream, voyage, command, drink wine, respire the breath of flowers. Dancing girls whirl in the dance; giants pursue monsters; at the entrances of grottoes solitaries meditate. Eyes cannot be distinguished from stars; nor clouds from banderolles; peacocks quench their thirst at rivers of gold dust; the embroidery of pavilions seems to blend with the spots of leopards; coloured rays intercross in the blue air, together with flying arrows, and swinging censers.
