In this form he is seen taking the forms of vishnu and brahma. 48. Gaurivaraprada Murthy – In this form the Lord is seen with gauri. 60. Tripada trimurthi – In this form again the Lord Shiva is seen standing on one leg with log Vishnu and Brahma on both his sides. 61. Chakradanasvarupa Murthy-In this particular form the God Shiva is seen giving sudarshana chakra to Lord Vishnu. But nevertheless He also exists with form. When formless and attributeless He is called Brahman (note that this is different word than Brahma). When with form He is called by different names such as Brahma, Vishnu and Mahadev.

Respectively, these first three actions are associated with Shiva as Sadyojata (akin to Brahma), Vamadeva (akin to Vishnu) and Aghora (akin to Rudra). Thus, Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra are not deities different from Shiva, but rather are forms of Shiva. As Brahma/Sadyojata, Shiva creates. As Vishnu/Vamadeva, Shiva preserves. As Rudra/Aghora, he dissolves. Earlier forms of the Trimurti sometimes included Surya instead of Brahma, or as a fourth above the Trimurti, of whom the other three are manifestations; Surya is Brahma in the morning, Vishnu in the afternoon and Shiva in the evening. Surya was also a member of the original Vedic Trimurti, which included Agni and Vayu. Brahma is the Creator.
