The form of Sad-bhuja, the six-armed Lord Gaurasundara, is a representation of three incarnations. The form of
Sri Ramacandra is symbolized by a bow in one hand and an arrow in another, the form of Lord
Sri Krsna is symbolized by a stick and a flute like those generally held by a cowherd boy, and Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu is symbolized by a sannyasa-danda and a kamandalu, or waterpot.
(Srila Prabhupada, Purport to Caitanya Caritamrta Adi-lila 17.12)
