Because I would estimate that it is less than half the number the average Hindu God has.
Does anyone here know anything about Indian religion? I always found the trope of multi-armed depictions of all their various Gods interesting, but I don't really know what it means. Does anyone know how old this idea is? Or know of any theories of what it means? Are related religions into this? Does Buddhism ever sculpt Buddhas with supernumerary arms? Are Jains into this stuff?
Is it associated with some direct symbolism, like "Shakti's four arms represent the four ____s" or "Arm one represents ____, Arm 2 represents ____ . . . " or anything like that?
