Ananga Bahirava Maske (Maske des Amors)
Auf dem Kopf der Ananga-Bahirawa-Maske (Amor) befindet sich das hübsche Gesicht eines Prinzen und auf beiden Seiten Gesichter von Frauen. Im Folgenden finden Sie mehrere Verse, die den Ananga (Amor) beschreiben:
Die Kunst des Tanzes gut kennend – der Amor-Bahirava-Gott kommt
Im attraktiven Gesicht des Amors befinden sich auf der anderen Seite zwei göttliche Nymphen
Die Augen sind wunderschön – der Name Amor Bahirava entstand
Eine göttliche Nymphe, ganz verkleidet, ist gekommen und wartet
Auf dem Amorkopf befinden sich zwei Schlangen
Tanzt und winkt anmutig mit der Hand
Der Amorgott tritt hervor wie der Vollmond
