* Third eye: Shiva is often depicted with a third eye, with which he burned Desire (Kāma) to ashes,[65] called "Tryambakam" (Sanskrit: त्र्यम्बकम्), which occurs in many scriptural sources.[66] In classical Sanskrit, the word ambaka denotes "an eye", and in the Mahabharata, Shiva is depicted as three-eyed, so this name is sometimes translated as "having three eyes".[67] However, in Vedic Sanskrit, the word ambā or ambikā means "mother", and this early meaning of the word is the basis for the translation "having three mothers" that was used by Max Müller and Arthur Macdonell.[68][69] Since no story is known in which Shiva had three mothers, E. Washburn Hopkins suggested that the name refers not to three mothers, but to three mother-goddesses who are collectively called the Ambikās.[70] Other related translations have been "having three wives or sisters" or were based on the idea that the name actually refers to the oblations given to Rudra, which according to some traditions were shared with the goddess Ambikā.[71] wikpedia


the third eye of shiva
embedded in the karmic
soul of a camera lens
revealing hidden truth
even when the path
is dense the camera
an instrument of peace
simple common sense
he sees all he shows all
throttling the jugular
of a silhouette and suspense
the present the past the future tense
in every thought and sense
in the beggar bowl
of a blogger
the poetry of life
to recompense
karmic desires
burnt to ashes
the human soul
to cleanse
rinse dry
on a clothesline
of the consciousness
a word locked
within a sentence
the sword rusted corroded
the cybernetic ganesha's mouse
greater than a poets pen
we are nothing but a speck
of dirt searching
paradise at the feet
of our parents
