She embodies active compassion and swift protection, responding immediately to the prayers of those who call upon her. As the female Buddha of enlightened activity, she removes obstacles and fears from the spiritual path.

The right hand extends in the varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), while the left holds an utpala flower, symbolizing purity and spiritual unfolding. Her posture displays royal ease, with the right leg extended in readiness to spring into action, demonstrating her commitment to helping sentient beings.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom
