The presiding deity residing over the 濒颈峁単补 in this place (贬颈尘腻濒补测补) is named Rudrarudra.

The word 濒颈峁単补 refers to a symbol used in the worship of 艢iva and is used thoughout 艢aiva literature, such as the sacred 膧gamas.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Yoga贬颈尘腻濒补测补 is one of the eighty-four Siddhas associated with eighty-four Yogic postures (腻蝉补苍补蝉), according to popular tradition in Jodhpur, 搁腻箩补蝉迟丑腻苍. These posture-performing Siddhas are drawn from illustrative sources known as the Nava-n膩tha-caur膩s墨-siddha from V颧r膩峁嘺s墨 and the Nava-n膩tha-caru膩s墨-siddha-b膩l膩sundar墨-yogam膩y膩 from Pu峁噀. They bear some similarity between the eighty-four Siddhas painted on the walls of the sanctum of the temple in Mah膩mandir.
The names of these Siddhas (e.g., 贬颈尘腻濒补测补) to 19th-century inscription on a painting from Jodhpur, which is labelled as 鈥淢aharaja Mansing and eighty-four Yogis鈥�. The association of Siddhas with yogis reveals the tradition of seeing Matsyendra and his disciple 骋辞谤补办峁 as the founders of 丑补峁环补测辞驳补.
