Vajrapani and Consort (Tibetan: chag na dor je yab yum. English: the Vajra Holder): wrathful Tutelary Deity, representing the power of all Buddhas.

Blue in colour, with one face and two hands he holds aloft in the right a golden vajra scepter. The left hand holds a vajra handled bell and embraces the consort who is also blue with one face and two hands. Yellow hair flows upward from the top of the head. Adorned with gold and jewel ornaments, a crown, bracelets and the like, the upper body is covered with the hide of an elephant skin. The lower body is wrapped with a tiger skin. Above a sun disc and multi-coloured lotus blossom, he stands atop two prone figures, blue and red, surrounded by the orange-red flames of pristine awareness. Twenty-one garuda birds of various colours issue outward from the body of Vajrapani and consort.

At the top center is the primordial Buddha Vajradhara red Vajrayogini on the right and blue wrathful Vajrapani on the left. Further to the right are four figures, two mahasiddhas, a Tibetan type yogi wearing a white cotton garment followed by a monk wearing a pandita hat. Below those are three more monks. At the left side are three mahasiddha figures followed by a monk and below them another three monks with the last facing outward rather than looking in towards the lineage and deity. Descending down each side of the painting are seven wrathful deities similar in appearance to Vajrapani and consort. The first two on the right are without consorts and again the first of those is white in colour. On the left the first is green in colour and is without a consort. The second is Black Jambhala, holding a skullcup and mongoose. Along the bottom are four peaceful and four wrathful deities.

Buddhist Lineage

Ground Mineral Pigment, Fine Gold Line on Cotton

Collection of Rubin Museum of Art

Vajrapani Bhutadamara (Tibetan: chung bu dul she chag na dor je. English: the Vajra Holder, Subduer of Daemons).

Dark blue in colour with one face and four hands, the first pair perform the 'Daemon Subduing' mudra (hand gesture) at the heart. The second pair of hands hold a vajra upraised in the right and a lasso in the left. Very wrathful in appearance with large bulging eyes and hair flowing upwards like flame he wears jewel and snake ornaments and a lower garment of tiger skin. On the back of the white daemon Aparajita - with four hands and an elephant head, he stands atop a sun disc and multi-coloured lotus surrounded by the flames of pristine awareness.

At the top center is the buddha Shakyamuni, to the left the buddha of the past and to the right the bodhisattva Maitreya, the buddha of the future. To the left is the bodhisattva Manjushri and below is the Lama Tsongkapa the founder of the Gelugpa School. To the right is the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara with four hands. Below that is Sakya Pandita of the Sakya School.

At the bottom center inside a rainbow sphere is Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava, founder of the Nyingma School, seated on a lotus flower. On the left is Karmapa Yeshe Dorje (1676-1702) of the Kamtsang Kagyu wearing a black hat and on the right Drigung Jigten Gonpo (17th century) of the Drigung Kagyu. At the left corner is the wealth deity Jambhala, yellow in colour, with one face and two hands holding a bijapuraka fruit and a mongoose.

In the right bottom corner is the deceased male individual for whom the painting was commissioned. The small figure, wearing white for purity is shown seated on a lotus indicating the wish of his relatives that he be reborn in a Buddhist pureland such as the Copper-coloured Mountain of Padmasambhava, or Sukhavati of Buddha Amitabha. The central figure, Vajrapani, was either the Tutelary Deity of the deceased or chosen as the subject on the advice of a lama for the purpose of removing obstacles in the path of a better rebirth. The gold paint used for the robes and ornaments is meant as an offering on behalf of the deceased.

Vajrapani Bhutadamara is found in the Kriya, Carya and Anuttarayoga tantras and the iconographic form represented here indicates that it belongs to the two lower tantras. All the names of the deities and lamas have been finely written with gold lettering.
