Title:
Shiva emerging from a pillar of fire having split it apart
Caption:
Shiva emerging from a pillar of fire having split it apart. In his upper right hand is the parashu (axe), in his upper left the mriga (gazelle), his lower right hand is in abhaya and his lower left in varada mudra. A short lower garment covers his thighs while his calves are engulfed by tongues of fire. On Shiva’s right stands the three-headed and four-armed Brahma, and to his left is the four-armed Vishnu. Brahma carries in his upper hands the mala (string of beads) and the kamandalu (water vessel) and his lower hands are in anjali mudra; Vishnu carries in his upper hands the chakra (discus) and the shankha (conch), with his lower hands in anjali mudra. At the bottom right corner of the page is a boar. At the top left corner is the hamsa (goose), and a petal or leaf floats in the air.
