There
is a concrete example of a remorseless plunderer meeting his death at a single
glance at that terrifying gesture of Lord Maheswar, who chooses to punish
the criminal minded cut throats of mankind. These are recorded in history,
one king's miserable end too. Now listen. The august linga has four faces
sculptured on four sides. Each is a sculptural marvel, and its facial features
are beautifully executed. All the four faces seem exuding compassion to the
devotees, but to the wicked and vicious, they strike terror and send them to
Mrithyuloka. Of the four, the one facing the south has a characteristic terrific
aspect. The wicked are mortally afraid to look at it even for a split second. It
is roudra that emanates from it for them when looked at. The pitiless mood it
represents caused death in some cases.
