Siva, the Destroyer, is also the Reproducer, and appears in Java to have been worshipped under three forms: as Mahadeva, or the Great God; as Mahayogi, or the Great Teacher; and as Mahakala, or the Destroyer. The edifice is greatly inferior in size to that of Boro-Boedoer; it rests upon a rectangular basement having twelve angles, and measuring some eighty feet across in either direction.
An oft-quoted tantric verse represents Śiva as saying Maithunena mahâyogî mama tulyo na saṁśayaḥ. And for practical purposes that is the gist of Śâktist teaching. The temples of Kâmâkhyâ leave a disagreeable impression an impression of dark evil haunts of lust and bloodshed, akin to madness and unrelieved by any grace or vigour of art.
