ArchishmAn -- His idol form is full of brilliance to the outward eyes and also it kindles inner light in our minds when we become involved. 

Archita: -- His idol form is His incarnation in archa-form. 

Kumbha: -- His presence as Archavatara in temples is loved by all devotees the world over. Whenever anybody goes to the temple to have His darsan that person feels blessed. 

VisuddhAtmA -- His form in the temple is especially sanctified and holy for the reason that He has deemed to assume that form only for the sake of devotees who feel helpless regarding higher spiritual practices. 

VisOdhana: -- He purifies those who go to His temples, giving up their pride or hesitation do services like cleaning the place and keeping the premises convenient for the devotees to come and have darsan. 

Aniruddha: -- He always resides as Aniruddha in temples to educate devotees' mental habits and thereby make them advance. He is known as Janardana. 

Apratiratha: -- Though He may seem to be stern as Janardana He is matchless in His grace and mercy. 

Pradymna: -- Educating the devotees leads to illumination. It is He as Pradymna who gives illumination to devotees. 

Amitavikrama: -- When the devotees become involved in Bhakti after illumination given by Pradymna, He does many feats for the good of the devotees, which they can silently wonder.
