It is Mahadeva who assumes the form of the Sanyasin bearing the Darda (emblem of mendicancy), and also of the king with the Chhatra and the Brahman with the calabash. He sometimes becomes six faced and sometimes becomes multifaced. He sometimes assumes forins having three eyes and forms having many heads.
दण्डी छत्री च कुण्डी च द्विजानां धारणस्तथा। पण्मुखो वै बहुमुखस्त्रिनेत्रो बहुशीर्षकः॥
