[INDOLOGY] Rudra gayatri

[Nivedita Rout]

We may find the reference of six headed Siva (Bhadresvara) from the inscription of Champa (Myson stone slab inscription of Jaya Indravarman II, dated 1088 AD).

Dear list members,
Happy new year.
There is a Rudra gayatri in a text in the Muktabodha digital library called parākramapūjā as follows:
ṣaḍananāyavidmahe 
citrapādāyadhīmahi tanno rudra pracodayāt
1) Why ṣaḍananāya ?  Is there a form of Shiva with 6 faces? 
2) How would citrapāda be translated in this context?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
