Guru Dorje Trollö

Dorje Trollö (Wyl. rdo rje gro lod) is one of the Eight Manifestations of Guru RinpocheGuru Rinpoche in wrathful form riding upon a pregnant tigress. He assumed this manifestation in Paro Taktsang in Bhutan in order to bring the local deities and guardians under his control.

From A Great Treasure of Blessings, page 34.

At thirteen different places called 'Tiger's Lair', Taktsang, Guru Rinpoche manifested in "the terrifying wrathful form of crazy wisdom", binding worldly spirits under oath to protect the terma treasures and serve the Dharma. Then he is known as Dorje Trollö, 'Wild Wrathful Vajra'.
