Varaha Purana 214.3: Adhyaya 214, Shloka 3
The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
त्रिशूली परिघी दण्डी पिनाकी मौञ्जमेखली ॥ शुशुभे तेजसा तत्र द्वितीय इव शङ्करः ॥
triśūlī parighī daṇḍī pinākī mauñjamekhalī || śuśubhe tejasā tatra dvitīya iva śaṅkaraḥ ||
उसके हाथ में त्रिशूल थी, और बड़ी लाठी भी थी। धनुष भी था, और कमर में एक खास तरह की डोरी भी थी। वो इतना चमक रहा था, जैसे दूसरा शंकर खड़ा हो वहाँ।
