Mañjushrimitra (Skt. Mañjuśrīmitra; Tib. Jampal Shenyen; Wyl. ‘jam dpal bshes bsnyen) — one of the early masters of the Dzogchen lineage. He was a disciple of Garab Dorje and the main teacher of Shri Singha. He is famous for arranging the Dzogchen teachings into three classes: the Mind Class (Tib. sem dé), Space Class (Tib. long dé), and Pith Instruction Class (Tib. mengak dé). His last testament, which he conferred upon Shri Singha before passing into the rainbow body, is called the Six Experiences of Meditation.

Yamantaka (Skt. Yamāntaka; Wyl. gshin rje gshed) - literally 'The Destroyer of Yama, the Lord of Death', is a wrathful form of Manjushri. He also appears as one of the eight deities of Kagyé (see image) and is one of the four male gate keepers

Nagarjuna (Skt. Nāgārjuna; Tib. ludrup; Wyl. klu sgrub) - one of the six great commentators (the ‘Six Ornaments’) on the Buddha’s teachings, the great scholar Nagarjuna (c.150-250) is revered as an unsurpassed master by all Buddhist schools. His teachings provide the foundation for the Madhyamika School, which propounds the ‘Middle Way’ philosophy, accepted as the highest view within the sutrayana. He was also the revealer of the Prajñaparamita Sutras, the core teaching of the second turning of the wheel of the Dharma. He is also counted among the eighty-four mahasiddhas, and among the eight vidyadharas.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche said:

Noble Nagarjuna was like a second buddha in this world. He composed commentaries explaining all the Buddha’s views. The Six Ornaments and Two Supreme Ones of the noble land of India asserted that there is no difference between Nagarjuna’s commentaries and the Buddha’s teachings. This is because Nagarjuna’s commentaries cover all three turnings of the wheel as well as the secret-mantra vajrayana

Hayagriva (Skt. Hayagrīva; Tib. Tamdrin; Wyl. rta mgrin) — the wrathful manifestation of Avalokiteshvara who symbolizes enlightened speech, usually depicted as red in colour and with a horse's head protruding from his crown.

Hayagriva is one of the eight principal deities of Kagyé and referred to as Péma Sung (Wyl. pad ma gsung), 'Lotus-like Speech', in this particular mandala.

Dorje Shönnu; Wyl. rdo rje gzhon nu) — the wrathful heruka Vajrakilaya is the yidam deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the buddhas and whose practice is famous for being the most powerful for removing obstacles, destroying the forces hostile to compassion and purifying the spiritual pollution so prevelant in this age.
