(Early painting of Shad-bhuja at 26 Second Avenue, New York, 1966)
"The form of Shad-bhuja, the six-armed Lord Gaurasundara, is a representation of three incarnations. The form of Sri Ramacandra is symbolized by a bow in one hand and an arrow in another, the form of Lord Sri Krishna is symbolized by a stick and a flute like those generally held by a cowherd boy, and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is symbolized by a sannyasa-danda and a kamandalu, or waterpot."
(Caitanya-caritamrita, Adi-lila 17.12, Purport)
