Sarva	Bhava	Rudra	Ugra	Bhima	Pasupati	Isana	Mahadeva
Earth form	Water form	Fire form	Wind/Air form	Ether /sky form	Soul, Yajamana form	Sun form	Moon form

1. Sarva is the Lord of Earth who holds the entire universe of mobile and immobile beings (trees).
2. Bhava is the Lord of Water, which is essential for all living entities.
3. Rudra is Lord of Fire, which is the heat in the body, the earth, the sun and other elements and which carries oblations to the gods.
4. Ugra is the awesome, formidable, fierce, and ferocious force that keeps the inner and outer universe pulsate autonomously.
5. Bhima is the Lord of Space that includes  firmament, and pervasive space in all entities. Where ever there is space--between atoms or inside atoms--, that is Bhima. It differentiates elements from one another.
6. Pasupati is the Lord of Pasus (individual souls) and breaks the bonds or ties that keep the soul from its centripetal march towards the Lord.
7. Isana is the Lord of Sun who "moves in an arch" in heaven and illuminates the universe.
8. Mahadeva is the Lord of Moon which offers nectarlike rays and sap to beings and plants, assuring satiety and fullness to the universe. He is also the Great Soul or Atman which is more pervasive than all other forms. Another source tells that moon forms the left eye of Narasimha, one of the Avatars of Vishnu. Because of his divine effulgent form, he is the favorite of all ages. Soma-Sava is a great YAgam performed to honor the moon, who in return gives milch cows to humanity, thorough-bred breed of horses, and intelligent, learned, brave Satputras who observe all religious vows.
