Ghaṇṭākarṇā

Ghaṇṭākarṇā · ghaṇṭā-karṇā, “the bell-eared one”

Ghaṇṭākarṇā is named among the retinue of Bhagavān Śaṅkara in the account that Bhagavān Śrī Kṛshṇa tells Yudhishṭhira in the Uttara Parva. When Bhagavān Śaṅkara gave up his tiger form and appeared in his own form, mounted on the vṛshabha with Bhagavatī Umā at his left, he was surrounded by Vināyaka, Kārttikeya, Nandī, Mahākāla, Vīrabhadrā, Cāmuṇḍā, Ghaṇṭākarṇā and others.
