: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography顿别惫补诲别惫补迟腻 (啶︵啶掂う啷囙さ啶むぞ) or 顿别惫补诲别惫补迟腻loke艣vara refers to number 72 of the 108 forms of Avalokite艣vara found in the Machhandar Vahal (Kathmanu, Nepal). [Machhandar or Machandar is another name for for Matsyendra.].

鈥湺俦鸨共够灞鸨共钩倌� is similar to [Amoghap膩艣a Loke艣vara], with this difference that here the god carries the Vajra, the bow, the Tri艣奴la and the sword in his four right hands, and the bell, the arrow, the jewel (?) and the noose in his left.鈥擜moghap膩艣a Loke艣vara is four-faced and eight-armed and stands on a lotus. He carries in his four right hands the Vajra, the sword, the goad and the bow, while the four left carry the Gha峁囜弓膩, the Trida峁囜笉墨, the noose and the arrow鈥�.
The names of the 108 deities [viz., 顿别惫补诲别惫补迟腻] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named 鈥渢he 108 names of Avalokiteshvara鈥�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions. Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
