The costumes of deities also were different on the basis of their manifestations. In 厂补办补濒腻诲丑颈办腻谤补 of Sage Agastya[1], we come across the costumes reserved for different manifestations of 艢颈惫补. Somaskanda wore 顿耻办奴濒补 and is sometimes depicted as clad in 痴测腻驳丑谤补肠补谤尘补. 痴测腻驳丑谤补肠补谤尘补 is worn by 狈补峁璭艣惫补谤补 and 顿补办峁峁嚹乵奴谤迟颈 also. In addition to tiger skin, an 鲍迟迟补谤墨测补 also is reserved for 顿补办峁峁嚹乵奴谤迟颈. 叠丑颈办峁Ｄ佱弓补苍补尘奴谤迟颈 also is represented as wearing 鲍迟迟补谤墨测补. Um膩devi is depicted as clad in 搁补办迟腻尘产补谤补.
