Śṇa󲹱 (one of the aspects of Subrahmaṇya, according to the ܳ-ٲԳٰ). He should have six heads, twelve eyes and twelve arms. Two of his hands are to be in the abhaya and the varada poses while the remaining ones should carry in them the śپ, ṇṭ, dhvaja, padma, ܰṭa, ś, 岹ṇḍ, ṭaṅk, ṇa and dhanus. The complexion of this aspect is yellow; the face should resemble a full-blown lotus.

The Śrītatvanidhi, as usual, gives an entirely different description of Śṇa󲹱. According to this authority Śṇa󲹱 should have only one face, three eyes and six arms, be of the colour of the rising sun and be seated upon a lion. The body should be covered with ashes (ṣm or ūپ). There should be in the hands flowery arrows, a bow made of sugar-cane, ḍg, ṭa첹, vajra and the ܰṭa.
