: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography䲹Իǰś (चन्द्रप्रभलोकेश्वर) or simply Candraprabha refers to number 43 of the 108 forms of Avalokiteśvara found in the Machhandar Vahal (Kathmanu, Nepal). [Machhandar or Machandar is another name for for Matsyendra.]. [...]The names of the 108 deities [viz., 䲹Իǰś] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvara�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions. Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
