介绍（中）	这是湿婆作为死亡和疾病的毁灭者Mrityunjaya的极为罕见的表现。他以瑜伽的形式深入冥想，如他联锁的腿和休息的手所示。Uttarakamika是一种仪式和图像文本（agama），规定他应该以三只眼睛、六只手臂和饰有新月的缠结辫子（jatamukuta）的平静状态出现。他展示了一个念珠和一个水容器，他缺失的两只手会拿着他的三叉戟（trisula）和一个头骨碗（kapala），完成了仪式所需的图像。他的腿下挂着一个链花环（文字中提到了头骨花环）。他身边站着拿着苍蝇搅拌器的女性服务员，还有混血鸟kinnara和kinnari，她们为他提供头顶的音乐。天上的花环手在上空盘旋。他的宝座是一个莲花座，背面是一个马卡拉式的王座。他的信徒公牛跪在左下角；右下角的捐赠者。
介绍（英）	This is an extremely rare representation of Shiva as Mrityunjaya, the destroyer of death and disease. He is shown deep in meditation in yogic form, as indicated by his interlocked legs and resting hands. The Uttarakamika, a ritual and iconographic text (agama), dictates that he should be represented in a tranquil state with three eyes, six arms, and matted dreadlocks (jatamukuta) adorned with the crescent moon. He displays a rosary and a water vessel, and his two missing hands would have held his trident (trisula) and a skull bowl (kapala), completing the ritually required iconography. A chain garland hangs below his legs (the text speaks of a garland of skulls). He is flanked by female attendants bearing fly-whisks and the hybrid bird-humans kinnara and kinnari, who provide music about his head. Celestial garland bearers hover above. His throne is a lotus pedestal with a makara-finial throne back. His devotee the bull kneels at lower left; the donor figure, at lower right.
