TaThaiva panchatrimshacchashAligrAmE tu vai HarEhe||

भद्र रूपाणां पंचसाहस्रं हरॆः पंचशतॊत्तरम्।

तथैव पंचत्रिंशच्चशालिग्रामॆ तु वै हरॆः॥पंचरात्र॥

In Prameyaratnakara, it is given:

PanchatrimshADhikaihi panchashataihi panchasahasrakaihi|

ShAlagrAmasThitO nityam…||

भद्र पंचत्रिंशाधिकैः पन्चशतैः पन्चसहस्रकैः।

SUMMARY: Beloved of Lakshmi, Sri Hari wears five hundred and thirteen forms in statues and idols. Like the Fire God exists in dried cowdung tablets, Sri Hari exists in all statues and idols in their own shapes and forms and appears to the worshippers in the shapes and forms they prefer to see Him.

Thus, Sri Hari exists in all forms. Depending on one’s imagination, desire and aspiration, he appears to the devotee in his or her own imaginary form. However, it is imperative that while offering prayer, worship or anything as donation, one should imagine the form for which the offerings are made. In Sandhyavandana, there is a chant:

AkAshAt patitam tOyam yaThAgachChati sAgaram sarva dEva namaskAraha KEshavam pratigachChati|

Like the water falling from the sky in the form of rains join the sea, the salutations offered and submitted to any deity reaches Sri Keshava or Sri Hari.
