This form, Bhikshatana murti, is seen as a gentler aspect of Bhairava, positioned between his two more fearsome forms: Brahmashirascheda murti (depicted when Shiva severs Brahma's head) and Kankala murti (depicted when Shiva slays Vishnu's doorkeeper). Various legends surround the origin of this form, with the most prevalent story recounting a dispute between Shiva and Brahma over the title of supreme creator. This disagreement escalated to the point where Shiva, in a fit of anger, severed Brahma's fifth head with his left thumb. To atone for this act, Shiva embraced mendicancy, wandering the earth for twelve years as a beggar. Sometimes depicted with matted hair or standing on end, a bell tied to his leg signifies his departure from Vedic norms. Bhikshatana is depicted with four arms, holding a staff adorned with the bones of Brahma and Vishnu's doorkeeper, along with a skull-cap and a drum. A snake encircles his body, adorned with minimal jewelry. Notably, Bhikshatana is often portrayed wearing wooden sandals, a rare feature among depictions of Shiva.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are just a few of the many names attributed to Lord Shiva, each carrying its own significance and symbolism in Hindu mythology and philosophy.
