has brought Dharma to the scales, he should assign to the subordinate 

 gods their several places. 



The same (Pitamaha says further) : 



" Having placed Indra in the eastern direction, and the lord of the dead 

 in the south, Varuna in the west, and Kuvera in the north, he should 

 divide the (other) Lokapalas, etc., Agni in the intermediate points 

 of the horizon. Indra is yellow, Yaina dark-blue, Varuna shines 

 like crystal, Kuvera like gold, Agni also (glitters) like gold, and 

 Nirriti is dark-blue, Vayu dark-brown, and let Icana be red — thus he 

 shall meditate on them in their order. To the south of Indra a wise 

 man should place the Vasus. These eight Vasus are declared to be 

 Dhara, Dhrava and Soma, Apah (the waters), Anila (wind), Anala 

 (fire), Pratyiisha (early morning), Prabhasa. Between the lord of gods 

 (Indra) and Icana is the place of the Adityas. The names of these twelve 

 Adityas are declared to be Dhatri, Aryaman, Mitra, Varuna, lea 

 and Bhaga; Indra, Vivasvat, and Pushan ; and as the tenth Parjanva ; 

 then Tvashtri, then last born, though not last (in power), Vishnu. But 

 the western side of Agni (between this god and Yaina), they know to 

 be the place of the Rudras. The Rudras arc recorded to be eleven (name- 

 ly), Virabhadra, Cambhu and the famous Girica, Aja Ekapad, Ahi 

 Budhnya, and the unconquered Pinakin, and BhuvanadlnVvara, and 

 Kapali, Vitampati, Sthanu, and the illustrious Bhava. Between the 

 lord of the dead (Yaina) and the Baxasa (Nirriti) let him make the 

 place of the mothers. (They are) Brahmi, Mahecvari, Kaumari, and 

 Vaislmavi, Varahi, Mahendri, and Camunda, accompanied by her Ganas. 

 They know (tell) that Ganeca's place is to the north of Nirriti (between 

 him and Varuna). 



• The place of the Maruts is declared (to be) on the northern side 

 of Varuna (between him and Vayu). 



The seven Marutas are said (to be) ; Gaganasparcana, Vayu, Anila, 

 Maruta, Prana, Praneca, Yiva. A wise man should bring Durga to the 

 north of the scales : and they prescribe adoration to these deities, 

 /calling each) by his name. Having given to Dharma in the proper 

 order the (offerings), the first of which is the Arghya and the last of 

 which consists of ornaments (in flowers, etc.), he afterwards should give 

 to the subordinate gods the (offerings), beginning with the Arghya and 

 ending with the (presentation of) ornaments.
