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. When human mind is free from these two types of tendencies, only then it is depicted by a pure cross or by a flying eagle. Hence, on one side of a seal there is a cross, while on the other side there is flying eagle. The more is the dominance of Vritra, the weaker will be the head and the Varuna vessel placed before the animal. And the horns will get more and more twisted.

There are two types of three - headed human forms in Indus seals. In the left - turned Trishiraa, the seal depicts a Trident mounted on a staff. In right - turned Trishiraa, the seal depicts a triangle or a cup like thing mounted on a staff.
