The correct option is Vasudeva .
Explanation
The Vaikuntha Vishnu (also known as Vaikuntha Chaturmurti) is a specific iconographic form of Lord Vishnu, prominent in the art of the Gupta period and subsequently in Kashmir. This form represents the Chaturvyuha (four emanations) concept of the Pancharatra school of Vaishnavism.Detailed Analysis:
The Vaikuntha image typically features four heads (three visible in relief sculptures), each representing a specific emanation and attribute:
- Central Face (Front): It is the face of a Human (Saumya), representing Vasudeva. It signifies Bala (strength).
- Right Face: It is the face of a Lion, representing Samkarshana (associated with Narasimha). It signifies Jnana (knowledge).
- Left Face: It is the face of a Boar, representing Pradyumna (associated with Varaha). It signifies Aishvarya (sovereignty).
- Back Face (Rear): Often depicted as a fierce face (Kapila or Raudra), representing Aniruddha. It signifies Shakti (energy).
Key Takeaway:
In Vaikuntha Chaturmurti iconography, the central face is always human (Vasudeva), flanked by the lion (Narasimha) and boar (Varaha) faces.
