At other places, there are four bands of cross lines. Out of these, two vertical bands may be taken to mean the inward and outward tendencies, while the horizontal bands may be taken to mean the left and right tendencies of Vritra and Varuna.

To show lesser influence of Vritrahood, there is another seal where the mouth is right turned, horns are smaller and with less twist, neck thorns are smaller and the pa letter above it is only divided into two. This can be compared with the seal of a human figure - - - - - .
