शम्भोः शिरसिइन्दुकला वृषध्वजो अक्षि च तृतीयं अपि चऊर्ध्वम् । शूलं धनुः पिनाकं वामार्धे वा गिरिसुताअर्धम् ॥ ५८-४३ ॥

The image of Siva shall be made with the figure of the Moon in his head as it appears in the third lunar day after the New-moon, as mounted on a bull with a third eye in his forehead, with the trident in one hand and a bow known as Pināka in the other. The left half of the image may be made of half the body of Pārvatī—Śiva’s wife.
