Cool, another Mahadev-Narayan battle! This time, hoping for Mahadev's win - am rather bored w/ the stalemates, like last time w/ Vrishabh avatar.
Given the Sati Parvati fiasco, I think it's better that they show just Mahadev from this point on.
P.S. The snake around Mahadev's neck was a result of some vain rishis who once gloated about how great they were, courtesy the devotion of their wives, and Shiva & Vishnu both decided to teach them a lesson. Vishnu took Mohini's form again and seduced the rishis, while Mahadev took the form of a youth and seduced their wives 😈😆 Finally, the rishis realized what was happening, and using their powers, created a tiger to attack the youth, but he skinned the tiger alive & put it on as his attire. Next was a cobra, and the youth grabbed it & wrapped it around his neck. Then came the asura - which the youth slammed to the ground to his death, and then Mahadev took his original form and started dancing on the asura's body.
That's how Mahadev got the tiger skin and the snake, as per the ACK Elephanta.
