A shAstR^i utsavamUrti from a chera temple I have not been able id. Seems relatively recent but illustrates him with his single wife madanA and son satyaka: a rare iconography
The depiction with Madana is indeed a interesting since he is otherwise shown with Purna & Pushkala
Kshetra Rupa
Kulattupuzha Child (Bala Shasta)
Aryankavu Brahmachari
Achankovil Gruhasta (P&P)
Ponnambalamedu Jivanmukta
pUrNa and puShkalA are also termed madanA and varNanI: the dyad is indeed most common. as a monad the shakti is typically termed madanA or prabhA
Another exemplar of the monad shakti can be seen on this elephant mounted shAstR^i known locally karichAttan
An ancient shAstR^i from near Tirupur known as the chAttan kallu.
