鈥湷詹孤岚拱斐蟛贯箛岣嵅� also is similar to [Pi峁囜笉ap膩tra Loke艣vara] in all respects, except that here the god holds the lotus bud in his right hand and the book against his chest with the left.鈥擯i峁囜笉ap膩tra Loke艣vara is one-faced and two-armed and stands on a lotus. He holds the Pi峁囜笉ap膩tra (the bowl) in his two hands near the navel鈥�.
The names of the 108 deities [viz., 痴补箩谤补办丑补峁囜笉补] 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.
