In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Wisdom Library: Elements of Hindu Iconograpy痴颈诲测别艣惫补谤补 (啶掂た啶︵啶啶多啶掂ぐ) are the beings through whom the lower order of beings should attain higher evolutionary stages. The 惫颈箩帽腻苍补办补濒补 souls that have their mala in a high state of paripakva are those of the eight 痴颈诲测别艣惫补谤补s and next to them come the 惭补苍迟谤别艣惫补谤补蝉. Having been given pure body, deeds, bhuvanas and enjoyments (艣耻诲诲丑补-迟补苍耻, 办补谤补峁嘺, bhuvana, bhoga), these slowly get rid of their mala, by the destructive action of 艢iva.
There are eight 惫颈诲测别艣惫补谤补蝉 defined each having different colours:
- Anante艣a (blood-red),
- S奴k峁a (white),
- 艢ivottama (blue),
- Ekanetra (yellow),
- Ekarudra (black),
- Trim奴rti (crimson),
- 艢r墨ka峁囜弓ha (another kind of red),
- 艢ikha峁囜笉i (dark-brown).
When depicting them, their figures should have each one face with three eyes, adorned with a 箩补峁乵补办耻峁璦, 测补箩帽辞辫补惫墨迟补 and all other ornaments.
The P奴rvak膩ra峁嚹乬ama says they should carry in their back hands the 艣奴濒补 and the 峁璦峁卥补 and keep their front ones in the varada and abhaya poses. But the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottara states that their front hands should be kept in the 补帽箩补濒颈 pose, and the back ones should carry the 产腻峁嘺 and the tri艣奴濒补. Detailed descriptions of each of these 惫颈诲测别艣惫补谤补蝉 are found in the A峁兣泆madbhed膩gama.
These 惫颈诲测别艣惫补谤补蝉, in conjunction with the 艢aktis (e.g., V膩m膩, Jye峁ａ弓h膩 Raudr墨, K膩l墨, Kalavikara峁嚹�, Balavikara峁嚹�, Balapramathan墨 and Sarvabh奴tadaman墨) are made by Parama艣iva to create the universe. It may be noted that all these eight aspects of 艢iva pacific in their nature and are residents of the pure regions (艣耻诲诲丑补产丑补惫补苍补)
