Dear list members,

Happy new year.

There is a Rudra gayatri in a text in the Muktabodha digital library called parākramapūjā as follows:

ṣaḍananāya vidmahe
citrapādāya dhīmahi 
tan no 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
