中國或蒙古 十八世紀 白哈爾神王唐卡 |

Gyajin riding the elephant is the prominent form of Pehar featured in this thangka. The deity represents the mind aspect of Pehar. As a non-Tibetan spirit, Pehar was subjugated into the service of Buddhism by Padmasambhava. The five Pehar protectors were originally from the terma tradition of the Nyingmapa school, but were incorporated into the Gelug pantheon at the time of the Fifth Dalai Lama (1617-1682).
