ٳٲⲹ (उत्तरायत�) refers to a type of ū󲹲 (melodic mode), and its illustration as a Goddess (according to 15th-century Indian art) is as follows.—The colour of her body is lotus like. She has a pung on her neck. She wears a bodice of blue colour, a scarf of dark-green colour with a black and white-coloured design. She wears a trouser of yellow colour bearing a black-coloured design and border of golden colour with a red design.

The illustrations (of, for example ٳٲⲹ) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this ٰ屹ī are based on the śǰ첹 of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).
