(principle) that Shiva and Shanmukha are one and the same.

Shiva mandated that Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra would all be of the
same status - they were essentially of the manifestations of His
origin. They would carry out ‘Panchakrutya’ or Five Duties,
viz., Srishti’ (Creation), ‘Sthiti’ (Preservation)
and ‘Laya’ (Destruction), ‘Tirobhav’ (Concealment and
Revival) and ‘Anugraha’ (Providing Salvation). Srishti
would be performed by Brahma, Sthiti by Vishnu, and Laya by
Rudra; the fourth task, viz. Tirobhav would be performed by
Mahesha, who would be yet His fourth manifestation and finally
the most significant task of Anugraha would be the exclusive
dispensation by Himself.  [shivapurANA].

The manifestation of these forms of Shiva may be called
as IshAna, tatpuruSha, aghora, vAmadeva and sadyojAta. To
perceive, visualize, and conceptualize these manifestations,
we worship the Linga in four directions as four faces and
one on the top, making it five murti-s. These five faces
seem to be apparent and patently known to us.  However, as
we advance, we realize that “parabrahma” has no form and
is beyond description and conceptualization; we worship the
brahma tattva through the sixth (antar-adho) mukham that is
latent and inside the Linga. These six mukhams are the six
faces of Lord Subrahmanya. Hence the ShaNmukhArchanA covers
the sahasranAmAvali for the five faces and that of adhomukham
which can be realised only through samAdhi.

The nAmAvali-s of the sixth face are couched and formulated as
“matrukAkShara” from "a" to "kSha", forming an exclusive
and indispensable part of ShaNmukhArchanA.  [There may be some
variations - some texts contain as many as 1200 nAmAvali-s].

Many of these nAmAvali-s are propounded by the vedA-s. The 300
names in Rudra anuvAkam and those extolling the exalted and
enlightened status of the Lord are found in the nAmAvali-s
that a discerning upAsakA would be prompted to recall the
lines in shri viShNu sahasranAma and others.  After all, when
we say “parabrahma”, there is no distinction amongst the
murti-s; all are one and the same. Hence, to reflect His eternal
beauty and execution of panchakrutya. these namavali-s aptly
and appropriately reveal and portray vividly the leelAvatara
or appearance of Shri Guha".   (by Shri Radhakrishna Sastrigal
in Tamil.  Translated by Sivakumar Thyagarajan).
