This wrathful emanation came to the world to kill the malevolent Asura Hira峁噛aka艣ipu. In iconography, Narasi峁僪a is often depicted holding the Asura with the lower pair of hands (of 2 or 6 pairs) and exploding his belly. Functionally, Narasi峁僪a is treated as a Dharmap膩la, a Protector of Dharma, who helps the Buddhists, fulfills their wishes and repels hindrances and enemies. Texts of the scroll depict various rites aimed at the use of Narasi峁僪a for these purposes. His use in magical rituals is attested in the vernacular Hindu tradition.
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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
