ǰ徱Բ,�

“ٲ� is one-faced and six-armed, and sits in the Lalita attitude on a lotus. His three right hands show the sword, the arrow and the Varada pose, while his three left hold the Kartri and the bow and display the Abhaya pose�.

The names of the 108 deities [viz., ٲ] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvara�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions.
