Ligodbhavamurti

Siva emerging from the lingam. (Lingodbhavamurti) Challenged to find the extremities of Shiva's limitless lingam, Brahma (as a hamsa or swan) flies upward, while Vishnu (as a rooting boar) snouts downward; but neither (seen also standing at either side with their characteristic attributes) is able to discover its extremities, and thus offer him their praise.
