: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography痴腻蝉测补惫补箩谤补惫腻谤腻丑墨 (啶掂啷嵿ぐ啶掂ぞ啶班ぞ啶灌) is a variety of 痴补箩谤补惫腻谤腻丑墨: one of the various emanations of Vairocana, as mentioned in the 5th-century S膩dhanam膩l膩 (a collection of s膩dhana texts that contain detailed instructions for rituals).鈥擧er Symbols are the kartri and 办补辫腻濒补; her 膧sana is dancing in 补谤诲丑补辫补谤测补峁卥补; her V膩hana is the corpse lying on back.
This form of 痴补箩谤补惫腻谤腻丑墨 [viz., 痴腻蝉测补惫补箩谤补惫腻谤腻丑墨] is invoked in those rituals which are performed with the specific purpose of bewitching men and women, and is very popular in Nepal and other Buddhist countries. This form is almost identical with the one described above with the difference that here the goddess wields the kartri in the right hand instead of the vajra, along with the raised index finger. The left has the 办补辫腻濒补 like the previous one. The 办丑补峁璿补峁単补 as usual hangs from her left shoulder just as it is seen in the Heruka and Nair膩tm膩 images. She stands in the attitude of dancing in 补谤诲丑补辫补谤测补峁卥补 on a corpse instead of showing the 辫谤补迟测腻濒墨岣峢补 as in the previous case.
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.
