Daka (Skt. ḍāka; Tib. དཔའ་བོ་, pawo^[1] ; Tib. དཔའ་བོ་, Wyl. dpa' bo), literally 'hero' — the tantric equivalent of a bodhisattva and the male equivalent of a dakini.

↑ Strictly speaking the Tibetan for ḍāka is khandro (while the Tibetan for ḍākinī is khandroma). The Tibetan word pawo, literally meaning a hero, actually translates the Sanskrit word vīra.
