#Thread on Ardhnarishwar form of the Divine Couple of Shiv-Shakti as recorded by Greek author Porphyry (AD 233-306) in 4th Book of his treatise On Abstinence from Animal Food, called Physica, i. 56. Gaisford’s Edition [based on the works of a Babylonian, Bardesanes (AD 154-..)] 
“They (the Indian envoys) told me further that there was a large natural cave in a very high mountain almost in the middle of the country wherein there is to be seen a statue of ten, say, or twelve cubits high,...
.. standing upright with its hands folded crosswise-and the right-half of its face was that of a man, and the left that of a woman; and in like manner the right hand and right foot, and in short the whole right side was male and the left female,..
.. so that the spectator was struck with wonder at the combination, as he saw how the two dissimilar sides coalesced in an indissoluble union in a single body. In this statue was engraved, it is said, on the right breast the sun, and on the left the moon,..
.. while on the two arms was artistically engraved a host of angels (devas) and whatever the world contains, that is to say, the sky and mountains and a sea, and a river and ocean, together with plants and animals-in fact, everything.”
