Sri Rama gives his peerless bow [Kothandam] with arrows and a weapon called Navaneetha to Sri Anjaneya to fight the two demons. Vishnu helps by giving the conch [Shanka], Chakra [Sudarshana] and also a weapon called Maththaksham. Brahma gives him a powerful Ankusha. Siva gives his third eye and his Trishul to Anjaneya. Parvathi Devi gives him her whip [Pasham]. Laksmi gives Padmam and Garudan gives his wings to Anjaneya. Thus Sri Anjaneya armed with all these weapons acquires the form of "Thri Nethra Dasa Bhuja Sri Veera Anjaneya" [Veera Anjaneya with three eyes and ten hands]. This form of Anjaneya is what is depicted by the deity presiding the temple at Ananthamangalam.
