վٰԲ (विचित्रतान) is another name for vicitra: one of the forty-seven Բ (tone) used in Indian music.—The illustration of Vicitra (as a deity) according to 15th-century Indian art is as follows.—The colour of his body is yellow. His face is similar to the face of an elephant. His right hand is in ʰԲ-ѳܻ and a ṇ� in his left hand.

The illustrations (of, for example վٰԲ) 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).
