Neither a man, nor a bird, nor a lion nor any other creature. In this adbhut roopa Devadidev Mahadev transcends any form imaginable by a human mind-he is none other than Sharbhesha.
In Sharbhesha rupa, his composite form transcends human iconography.
As Sharbhesha, he combines the forms of man, bird and lion.
Vishnu was too proud of his Narsimha incarnation, which combined man and lion.
To subdue Vishnu's pride, Shiva incarnated as Sharbhesha.
