Now the forms of Pisces and the other signs. Pisces is two fish, each with its head at the other's tail; Aquarius is a man with a pot; Sagittarius is a bow-bearer [man] with a horse's hips (the word sthauli is unclear); Capricorn is a crocodile [joined with] a deer (mrigastha; the exact sense is uncertain); Gemini is a human pair, [one] with a veena and [one] with a mace; Virgo is a woman in a boat, holding grain and fire. The remaining signs resemble what their names suggest, and all rest on their own regions.
