36" Hevajra Shri Hevajra (Tibetan: Gye pa dor je) Semi-wrathful, dark blue
in colour with eight faces, sixteen hands and four legs, at each side
of the main face are three further faces with the eighth situated centrally
above. Hair flows upward like flame from the top head. Skullcups are
held in sixteen hands. The eight on the right hold various animals looking
inward and the eight on the left hold the eight worldly gods gazing
outward. The first pair of arms folded at the heart embrace the consort.
Adorned with a crown of five skulls, bone ornaments and a necklace of
fifty freshly severed heads he has the appearance of being slightly
wrathful and slightly peaceful. The consort Vajra Nairatmya, blue in
colour, has one face and two hands. In the upraised right she holds
a curved knife. Adorned with a tiara of five skulls, a necklace of fifty
skulls and white bone ornaments, she is supported by the left leg with
the right embracing Hevajra. Standing on two legs with the two remaining
drawn up in a dancing stance atop the forms of four Hindu gods, a sun
disc and a lotus seat, Hevajra and consort are completely surrounded
by the flames of pristine awareness. |
