This Goddess inspires people to pursue Enlightenment, and eliminates all obstacles to the attainment of that ultimate goal. She dances naked in the cemeteries and haunted places of the world, converting demons and subduing ghosts. She wields the knife of wisdom that cuts through all ignorance, holds the bowl of compassion that provides for the benefit of all beings, and carries the magical katvanga staff that is the hidden form of her mighty consort, Cakrasamvara. From her head emerges the face of the adamantine sow who takes her wherever she is needed, and eliminates any obstacle to the swift completion of her Enlightened deeds.
