ٲśṣa (दशाक्ष�) refers to a particular method of making an image of Rma, as discussed in the thirtieth chapter of the Agastyasaṃhit (ٲⲹ-īṣṇ-ṃv岹 edition), an ancient Pñcartra Āgama text dealing with the worship of Rma, Sīt, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumn.—[Cf. the chapter 岹śṣa]:—Sutīkṣṇa asks to know what the �岹śṣa� method, as well as the others, is in reference to making an image of Rma. He is told first that Rma should be shown seated in the īԲ-position on a lotus-seat. He should have but two arms. He should be depicted with lovely eyes and so holding Sīt on His knee that His encircling arm touches her breast while His free hand manifests the ñԲ-ܻ. The position and posture of Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumn are also described. So the grouping will be when Rma is made according to the �岹śṣa� method of making an image. When He is made according to the �dv岹śṣa� method. He is shown in a regal disposition, surrounded by sages, his three brothers, Sīt, et al. Appropriate details are furnished for describing each of these figures.
