A new outline page for Sakya Protectors has been added to the Himalayan Art Resources website. There is a lot more explanation that needs to accompany each of these protectors, and or, their larger classifications, such as Mahakala, Shri Devi, the Three Kings, etc. I have this information written up in the form of a university paper done back in 1988 at UBC. I will review that paper and add more information to the SRG and HAR websites. The image on the left is of the goddess Ekajati, the mother of Mahakala and Shri Devi, according to the system of Panjarnata Mahakala. She is included as one of the retinue figures in the Eight Deity Panjarnata practice. She is also included in the Three Deity Panjarnata practice of the Sakya Tradition.
