Siddhaikavira (Skt. Siddhaika­vīra; Tib. དཔའ་བོ་གཅིག་པུ་གྲུབ་པ་, Wyl. dpa' bo gcig pu grub pa, pawo chikpu drubpa , 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]
