¹ Siva is represented with three eyes : hence his title of Trinetra and Trilochan, the Triophthalmic Jupiter of the Greeks. From the fire of the central eye of Siva is to proceed Pralaya, or the final destruction of the universe : this eye placed vertically, resembling the flame of a taper, is a distinguishing mark on the foreheads of his votaries.
