Vajrasattva with consort (Tibetan: dor je sem pa yab yum. English: Vajra Hero, Father-Mother), the buddha of purification and a tutelary deity, essence of all the peaceful Buddha Families.At the top center is the primordial Dharmakaya Buddha, Samantabhadra, embraced by the dark blue consort Samantabhadri. To the left is Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, richly attired in various robes and holding a vajra, skullcup and katvanga staff. In the corner, seated in the clouds, is the buddha Akshobhya, blue, supporting an upright vajra in the left hand. Below, a seated figure wears monastic robes and a pandita hat.To the right side is the Tibetan princess Yeshe Tsogyal, holding a skullcup at the heart; the consort of Padmasambhava. Standing in the clouds is Vajrayogini, red, holding a curved knife and skullcup. Below, a lama, ?revealer of treasures,? with a grey beard, luxurious robes and a lotus hat, holds a treasure box in the left hand.At the middle left is a yogi, ?togden? with the hair piled on the top of the head, earrings, wearing a white cotton robe and red meditation belt; holding a skullcup in the left hand. To the right side is the Treasure Protector (Tib.: ter srung), Ekajati (One Braid), dark brown, with one face and two hands holding a stick and heart. She wears one orange braid on the top of the head and has one eye and one tooth. At the bottom left are two yogis, standing, making offerings with bundles of fabric arranged in front.In the foreground is a small pond and fenced enclosure with one large blossoming white lotus rising above the water cradling a small figure with the hands folded in prayer. Standing above, a lama wearing monastic robes and a pandita hat holds a vajra in the right hand and rings a vajra bell with the left."To the divine illusion of the clear light of pristine awareness blazing with the glorious complete marks and examples of the spontaneous three bodies of perfect buddhahood; to Vajrasattva I bow." (Nyingma liturgical text).In the Nyingma Tradition Vajrasattva is an important tutelary deity with many Kama (Oral) and Terma (Treasure) traditions. The painting was likely commissioned for the benefit of the deceased - the small figure seated in the lotus blossom.
