He is of the form (“aatmakam”) of four (“chatvaari”) kinds (“paraadi”) of sound (“vaagaa”) beginning with Para.

He has a twisted (“vakra”) trunk (“tundam”) and is of the form (“swaroopa”) of Pranava.

He bears a crescent (“nitila”) moon (“chandra”) on his forehead (“gandam”) and holds a sugar cane (“ikshu”) on His left hand.

He bears in His lotus-like (“ambuja”) hands (“kara”) a noose (“pasha”), a goad and fruits (“beejapooram”).
