The original number of arms appears to have been 4; the front two, now broken, were probably lowered over the legs, as in #17 at Candravati, #20 and #21 at Nilakantha (also seated images), and probably held the &#347;a&#7749;kha and kama&#7751;&#7693;alu in a loose grip.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>11.2PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">A seated Vaiku&#7751;&#7789;ha type with central horse head.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Nr. 11: Cittaurghadh (Museum)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">ASI-236<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">13.<strong>DREIKOPFIGER ASVAMUKHA-GOTT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Stein: &#8212;- x &#8212;-<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">urspr. 4 oder 6 Hande<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mahakala-Tempel, Bijoliyam: S&#363;dwand des Ma&#7751;&#7693;apa<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">13.1<strong>DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">This sculpture is almost certainly not in its original position; it has been recently cemented into the wall, and is situated too high up to be measured.

There are two more kneeling figures further out from the centre, presumably the &#346;a&#7749;kha- and Cakrapuru&#7779;as since they merge with these attributes; the probable &#346;a&#7749;khapuru&#7779;a (r.) has r.h. on thigh and an indistinct object in raised l.h.; the probable Cakrapuru&#7779;a (1.) holds a long object (?c&#257;msra) over 1. shoulder and raises the r.h. in salute.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Behind probable &#346;a&#7749;khapuru&#7779;a, on the stele, is carved what seems to be a snake; there is no corresponding carving on the 1. side. The stele behind the main composition is plain and flanked by ringed pilasters; on either side, outside the pilasters, the image is flanked by a rampant leogryph on the forequarters of an elephant. The stone, now superficially grey, is a pink sandstone. The sculpture should be compared to the Vi&#347;var&#363;pa made for the Vi&#7779;&#7751;u (now M&#257;t&#257;) temple at Suhania (Simhapaniya), a mile from the Kakan-madh temple, M.P.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>20.2<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">A form of Vaiku&#7751;&#7789;ha in meditation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Nr.20: Nilakantha<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mahadeva-Tempel<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">ASI-508<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>21.

These represent 4 isolated vertical rows of 3 emanating figures, each row terminating in a separate figure squatting on a ledge at the top. The groups of 3 are to be seen as one type of series, which is vertical; the group of 4 around the ledge are to be seen as another type of series, which is horizontal.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The vertical, emanating groups represent gods (one group is nimbate. And all seem to have held identificatory emblems or to have displayed a mudra with at least one hand). The horizontal group of separate figures has neither hand-held attributes, distinctive mudras, nimbus, nor turban, and so cannot be identified as devas; their one definite feature, deliberately displayed by their squatting posture, is ithyphallicism, while it is precisely that part of the anatomy which is concealed by the method of representating emanation in the case of the gods. There is no point of direct contact between the circle of four squatting figures at the top and the 3 figures below each of them, which overlap each other. There is no lateral connexion between any of the figures. The two groups are quite distinct. The apparent implication of their relative placement and their appearance is that the vertically emanating figures are identified with the vertical shaft, whereas the ithyphallic figures squatting prominently on the ledge are independent of it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The pillar, an important document of one stage in the development of Hindu multiple iconography, has been described by five authors, most recently by Kreisel (Die &#346;iva-Bildwerke der Mathur&#257;-Kunst, hrsg. van Herbert Hartel, Stuttgart 1986: 207-209, with bibliography and Abb.63a-h) and Maxwell (Vi&#347;var&#363;pa, Oxford\/New Delhi 1988: 3-16, 33-35, Pls.3-9), who Offer similar interpretations but suggest differing identifications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The unexplained broken-ended projections noted by Kreisel (1986: 209) appear to be supporting elements beneath emblems held in the hands of the figures adjacent to them; they have no sculpture on their sides, being iconographically of no significance.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The probable chief face of the pillar, having three nimbate figures and usually described as the southern side, is in fact directed roughly southeast (160&#8242; from North). As the pillar was erected by the local inhabitants, who make no individual identifications of the gods on the sides, its present orientation is of no significance for determining its original purpose.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The local people, including the pujari responsible for the pillar and who took part in its discovery and reinstallation, insisted that there are no further sculptures on the portion of the shaft now underground. Close observation of the base, where the level of the earth has receded somewhat, tends to confirm this: the lowest figures do not emanate from other figures lower down, but are represented as incomplete figures, below which the shaft narrows. The remainder of the shaft, according to the villagers who saw it, is about 1 metre in length (making the total height about 250 cm) and plain, with a thickened square portion at the base, on which it could stand without support on level ground; they say that they interred this portion to lend the pillar stability.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>23.2<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Either a populated &#346;IVALI&#7748;GA, as proposed by all writers but one; or a VaI&#7779;&#7751;ava meditational image of the kind described in P&#257;&#7749;car&#257;tra texts as the VI&#346;&#256;KHAY&#362;PA, as proposed by Maxwell.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">For a less speculative approach to the identification of the Nand pillar, more comparable archaeological material from Mathura is required.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>24.

It represents a four-armed, three-headed figure of Vi&#7779;&#7751;u standing in &#257;bha&#7749;ga posture, the weight on the right foot with the hip thrown out in an exaggerated manner and the left foot slightly advanced. The rear arms are held away from the body and diagonally downward while the front right hands are lowered to a level with the upper thighs. The rear hands hold, against the two sides of the stele, a bow on the left and a sheai of arrows, points upward, on the right. A large &#347;a&#7749;kha, not inverted, is held in the lower left hand, point tilted toward the hip. The corresponding right arm is bent outward while the hand is turned inward, palm down, to rest on the grip of the inverted gad&#257;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The Pace of Vi&#7779;&#7751;u is like that of the adjacent Harihara, but both ears have makaraku&#7751;&#7693;alas. From the back of the head, projecting downward parallel to the slope of the shoulders, emerge the profile faces of Var&#257;ha on the left and of roaring Narasi&#7747;ha on the right. The manner in which these three heads are are conjoined is essentially the same as that seen in the 11th-century Solanki marble head of Vi&#7779;&#7751;u with Laksm&#299; in the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, Bombay, but the style is decidedly later in the treatment of the faces and crowns.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Below the &#347;a&#7749;kha in the god&#8217;s lower left hand, on the first step of the plinth, stands the Cakrapuru&#7779;a. On the opposite side stands the &#346;a&#7749;khapuru&#7779;a balancing a small conch upright on his left palm at waist level. On the lotus-brackets between the central salient and first steps of the plinth sit two miniature worshipping figures, male on the right and female on the left; their exact identities are not clear at present. The two goddesses on the second steps to left and right may be presumed to \/ represent &#346;r&#299; Lak&#7779;m&#299; and Pu&#7779;&#7789;i or Bh&#363;dev&#299;, the two consorts of the god. At the outer extremities of the plinth, on the third steps, stand Balar&#257;ma \/ Sa&#7749;kar&#7779;a&#7751;a on the right side, with a canopy of six cobra heads over his crown, and probably K&#7771;&#7779;&#7751;a the left. Immediately above the heads of the goddess and K&#7771;&#7779;&#7751;a on this side, carved in relief upon the stele, is the unsupported cakra of Vi&#7779;&#7751;u, bisected by the bow which is held in front of it; this relief depiction of the disk was apparently necessary because, in a four-armed image holding the bow and arrows, one of the main Vai&#7779;&#7751;ava emblems was bound to be displaced. The Sudar&#347;ana cakra being credited with independence of action may account for its being selected as the detached &#257;yudha. Above the disk, behind the bow and arrows on either side, two bhaktas kneel upon lotuses and pay homage to the god. At the top on either side sit Brahm&#257; on the right and, on the left, &#346;iva cross-legged on a lotus and holding the tri&#347;&#363;la in his raised right hands, a rearing cobra opposite, with the kama&#7751;&#7693;alu in the lowered left hand and the right in varadamudr&#257;. The reason why the bow and arrows were represented in the hands of the god in preference to &#8212; rather than in addition to &#8212; the disk and lotus in this four-armed icon is not immediately clear: the same identification of multiheaded Vi&#7779;&#7751;u with R&#257;ms was noticed in the iconography of the 10th-century Suhania Vi&#347;var&#363;pa at Gwalior (see Sonderbericht 2.1. (2.) -Gwalior\/Suhania, $6). In this connexion it was observed that the local people refer to this image as &#8220;R&#257;m-Hari&#8221;. The stylistic influence of 10th-century Candella \/ Kacchavaha sculpture is also evident in the architectural derivation of the structure of the stele.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>24.2<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">A late, reduced form of Vaiku&#7751;&#7789;ha, deprived of the cakra in favour of the bow and arrovs; R&#257;ma as 4-armed Vi&#7779;&#7751;u Vaiku&#7751;&#7789;ha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaiku\u1e47\u1e6dha-Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa Vol. I Page 001 Page 002 Page 003 Page 004 Page 005 Page 006 Page 007 Page 008 Page 009 Page 010 Page 011 Vaiku&#7751;&#7789;ha-Vi&#347;var&#363;pa Vol. I 11.DREIKOPFIGE ASVAYUKHA-GOTTHEIT Stein: 38 x 3 8 4 Hande (?-besch&#257;digt) State Museum, Cittautgadh; Inv.-Nr.236,213,313 11.1DESCRIPTION: In the ASI collection.
