Purport

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī quotes the following description of the Śiva-jvara:

jvaras tri-padas tri-śirāḥ
ṣaḍ-bhujo nava-locanaḥ
bhasma-praharaṇo raudraḥ
kālāntaka-yamopamaḥ

“The terrible Śiva-jvara had three legs, three heads, six arms and nine eyes. Showering ashes, he resembled Yamarāja at the time of universal annihilation.”
