वराहमृगशार्दूलमहिषाजशिवा मुखाः ।
गजोष्ट्रहयपादाश्च निखातशिरसोऽपराः ॥

M N Dutt

Some had a face like that of a boar, some had a face like that of a deer, some like that of a tiger, some like that of a buffalo, some like that of a goat, and some like that of a jackal; some had legs like those of a camel, some had those of an elephant, some those of a horse and some had their heads placed on their breasts.
