Saṃvara

Saṃvara

▪ Buddhist god
(Sanskrit: “Union”),Chinese  San Pa-lo,  

      in northern Buddhism, a fierce protective deity. Like Heruka and Hevajra, he is an emanation of the Buddha Akṣobhya and wears a figure of that god in his headdress. Saṃvara is widely worshiped as a yi-dam (tutelary, or guardian, deity) in Tibet and China and is said to be incarnated in each successive grand lama of Peking. He is represented in art as blue in colour, with four heads, each of which has a third eye and an angry expression. Two of his 12 arms are crossed on his breast; one holds the four-faced head of Brahmā, his distinctive symbol; and others embrace his shakti (female consort), Vajravārāhī.
