Dorje Shugden (DS), the emanation of Manjushri took the form of a Dharma Protector to safeguard Buddha's teachings. He carries a meandering sword and rides a snowlion that represents the fearlessness of a fully enlightened Buddha. Also, he carries a jewel-spitting mongoose and a vajra hook to symbolise that he has tremendous ability to bestow wealth and resources. He has great strength to overcome obstacles and to create suitable conditions for our spiritual practice to flourish. In this representation, DS carries a wooden club and sits on a lion throne, as in a vision by the Great 5th Dalai Lama. It was immortalised by the Great 5th when he created statues for the Protector Chapel of Trode Khangsar in Lhasa, Tibet. He also composed a praise describing DS as holding a wooden club in his right hand
The depictions here are similar to the Barkor Temple Trode Khangsar sculpture of Dorje Shugden.

Dorje Shugden is generally believed to be a worldly protector deity that was likely practiced first in the Sakya Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The earliest known ritual text was written by Morchen Kunga Lhundrub in the 17th century. According to some accounts he was inducted into the pantheon of Sakya protectors by Sakya Trizin Sonam Rinchen (1705-1741). Later, placed together with the two protector deities Dorje Setrab and Tsi'u Marpo they were collectively known as the Three Kings (Gyalpo Sum). In the Sakya texts Shugden is known as Dorje Shugden Tanag, or rather Dorje Shugden Riding a Black Horse. He holds a butcher's stick upraised in the right hand and a heart in the left lifted up to the mouth. Dressed in the robes of a monastic and wearing a gold lacquer riding hat, he sits atop a black horse. In the early 20th century Dorje Shugden Tanag fell out of favour with the Sakya Tradition in general. His devotees and practices have subsequently diminished. Since the late 20th century the offering rituals for the Three Kings are no longer found in the standard daily use Sakya Protectors manuals in monasteries in India or Tibet.
