[Guest guest]

Thanks for the excellent post.

 

I found this in Tirumantiram(one of the best shaiva manuals IMHO)

regarding subrahmaNya.

 

520: Manifestation of Downward-looking Face:

"Hail our Lord! Our God!

Deathly is might of Padmasura

Save us, help, oh!"

Thus did Celestials to Primal Lord pray!;

And the Primal Lord to the Six-faced God

Of coral hue beckoned;

And said, "Proceed and smite the enemy."

 

Tirumantiram has also another shloka which says that skanda arose

from of six sparks of shiva's six faces.

 

Thank you Ravi for your comments. I agree with what you said.

 

Thanks to Ganapathy ji too for further eloboration on kAtyAyanI.

Regards

Satish
