FAQs
It gives a dhyāna (meditative visualization) instruction: contemplate a deity form marked by auspicious signs, richly adorned, two-armed, red in complexion, holding a red lotus.

Not explicitly in the given line. It describes iconographic features; the precise deity identification requires surrounding verses from Adhyaya 77.
