Representations in the Sastradhara Hevajra Mandala - List

The eight-faced, sixteen-armed, four-footed god embraces his consort, Nairatma (she who is without ego). All eight faces are wrathful, three on both sides of the central face, the eighth surmounting it, enveloped by flames.
One pair of legs assumes a powerful stance in which the right leg is held taut, the left knee bent (alidha); the other pair assumes the pose of a dancer (ardhaparyanka). Crushed underneath are the four Maras, obstacles to enlightenment. Hevajra holds sixteen weapons, each indicating his multifaceted powers: the hook, trident, staff, cup, wheel, arrow, sword, vajra, lasso, gesture of argumentation (tarjani mudra), jewel, skullcup, ceremonial staff, bow, lotus, and bell.
