[3] Cool Grove Charnel Ground. Below the birth and palace scenes and slightly to the left, after leaving the palace, Padmasambhava is portrayed as an orange coloured mahasiddha like figure seated in the charnal ground of Cool Grove (Sitavani) with his back to a stupa. During this time he recieved teachings from two Dakinis named Tamer of Mara and Sustainer of Bliss. In this form and at this time he is known as Shantarakshita. This form of Padmasambhava is almost identical to the form known as Nyima Ozer as he represented in the principal Eight Forms.
