The title page contains a pictorial representation of the famous Siva Linga in or modern Tirukaḍayur near Tranquebar in the Tanjore Dt. The Lord is known as Amṛtaghaṭeśa. The picture shows Märkandeya worshipping the Lord when God Yama, riding his buffalo throws his Kalapāśa to remove Markaṇḍeya to his own regions. Yama is attended by his followers. The worship of Markaṇḍeya stands him in good stead. From out of the Linga emerges the Lord as Kalasamharamurti and throws down Yama from his vahana with His Divine Trisula.
