Lord Shiva and Ma Durga as Ardhanareshwar

Photo: Unto that Form whose left half is the Mother of all manifestation and whose right half is the Father of the same, the jingle of the gems enclosed within the hollow golden anklet of whose foot is the source of all scriptures, and whose three eyes (Fire, Sun and Moon) are the illuminants of the universe, to that Form be our devout salutations. May that divine Form ever be our protection.

thank you Michael Hornum for this beautiful description of Lord Shiva and Ma Durga as Ardhanareshwar.

Unto that Form whose left half is the Mother of all manifestation and whose right half is the Father of the same, the jingle of the gems enclosed within the hollow golden anklet of whose foot is the source of all scriptures, and whose three eyes (Fire, Sun and Moon) are the illuminants of the universe, to that Form be our devout salutations. May that divine Form ever be our protection.
(Ribhu Gita Ch.1, v.3; Prof. N. R. KRISHNAMOORTHI AIYER, Translator)
