鈥湶巡钩竽灞共孤岚够宄竽宄俪� is identical with [Mah膩vi艣va艣uddha Loke艣vara] in all respects but the symbols differ. Here the god carries the Vajra, the bow, the Tri艣奴la and the sword in his four right hands, and the Gha峁囜弓膩, the arrow, the Kama峁囜笉alu and the noose in his four left.鈥擬ah膩vi艣va艣uddha Loke艣vara is four-faced and eight-armed and stands on a lotus. He carries in his four right hands the sword, the flag, the Vajra and the goad, while the four left have the Gha峁囜弓膩, the conch, the Utpala and the lotus鈥�.
The names of the 108 deities [viz., 惭补丑腻惫补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻] 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.
