Siddhaikavira

Siddhaikavira (Skt. Siddhaika­vīra; Tib. དཔའ་བོ་གཅིག་པུ་གྲུབ་པ་, pawo chikpu drubpa, Wyl. dpa' bo gcig pu grub pa; Eng. 'Solitary Hero' or 'Accomplished Hero') is another form of the wisdom deity Manjushri, white in colour. In this form, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme generosity holding the stem of a blue utpala flower; Akshobhya is protruding from his hair, and he is surrounded by eight wrathful ones.[1]
