Interpretation / Description

[10] Bodhgaya. Moving to the left, a single episode in Padmasambhava's life is represented with two images. First he is depicted in his usual form in debate with four non-Buddhist teachers. When some of these teachers resort to magic spells after being defeated, Padmasambhava manifests in the wrathful blue form of Sengge Dradog, surrounded by orange flames, and utterlly destroys the four teachers. The deity Simhamukha, a teaching received from the Dakini Tamer of Mara in the Sitavani charnal ground, is pictured directly above Padmasambhava.
