General definition (in Hinduism)

: Tamil Arts Academy: Tripurantaka

Tripurantaka images are called Tripura-samhara-murti, Tripura-sundara, Tripura-vijaya, Purari and by other names. The images may, according to texts, have 2,4,8,or 10 arms. Some texts list eight types of Tripurantaka images, the differences between them being mainly in the postures of legs and arms.

Siva as Tripurantaka should always be accompanied by his consort Gauri Uma. Of the legs only the left should be placed on the dwarf. These have symbolic as well as deep theological meanings.

The Aghora-sivacharya-paddhati, an influential text states that the image of Tripurantaka should be taken in procession on the sixth day of the annual festival.

There are several segments in the legend of Tripurantaka Siva. The Asuras of Tripura were originally worshipers of Linga but were so arrogant they were causing havoc in the worlds. The Devas performed a Vedic sacrifice called Upasad which gave them a very powerful weapon but the Devas were unable to use it and so they approached Rudra to discharge the weapon.

The ultimate message of Tripurantaka legend is to worship Siva through a Linga and become Siva, meaning achieve unfettered, unbounded knowledge. "The myth of Siva is the myth of God as consciousness" says Stella Kramrisch (Manifestations of Siva p. xxiii)

Procession of Tripurantaka images are prescribed under two headings in agamic texts. One list gives the names of metal images to be taken out in Procession. For example the Suprabheda-agama gives the following list:鈥�

Sukhasana
Siva seated with Uma
Vrshabharudha
Tripurantaka
Nritta-murti
Chandra-sekhara
Ardha-nari
Harihara
Bhikshadana
Kalari
Kamantaka
Linga-purana

Similarly all the agamas give the nature of different festivals as

Bhiksha-yatra,
Mriga-yatra,
Ratha-yatra,
Tirta-yatrea,
and Kalyana-mahotsavas.
