Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

He has the great Ajagava bow placed on his left side. On his right, he has five glowing arrows (ujjvalat-pañcaśara). He is shining like a blue lotus. On his chest there is a glittering garland of blue lotuses. He is the Lord. [...]”.

She saw Śiva’s handsome form, bearing trident and other symbols before her vision. He had smeared the ashes all over His body. He was wearing a garland of bones. His face was beaming (ujjvalat-vaktra) with his shining three eyes. He had the sacred thread of a serpent. [...]”.
