[Advaita-l] Is there a 'Hari-Hara Avatāra' of Viṣṇu?

[V Subrahmanian]

Thanks for sharing these verses. The word 'mūrti' being in feminine,
Hariharanatha's form is indicated in feminine:  hariharanāthā,
pāpabhanjanā, etc. This is reminiscent of the famous verse of the
Mādhavīyashankaravijaya:शम्भोर्मूर्तिश्चरति भुवने शंकराचार्यरूपा ।
