Trikaya (Troma Nagmo, Dorje Phagmo, Tapihritsa) Troma Nagmo is either blue or black, with one central face and a small brown pig head on the crown looking to the right. Her facial expression is ferocious. She has three piercing red eyes, a gaping mouth, sharp teeth and fangs, and a twisting red tongue. She also has intimidating red facial hair that blazes upwards like fire. Her tawny-orange hair-locks swirl upwards above her five-skull tiara. The wrathful black head of a squealing pig that gazes up into the sky protrudes from the crown of her head. Troma Nagmo's face represents her single potential and the 'relative truth.' And, the sow's face represents her perception of emptiness as the 'absolute truth'. Her black color indicates her unchangeable nature. And her sow’s head and dakini’s head show the transformation of ignorance into wisdom, or pristine awareness respectively. Her three eyes perceive the three worlds and times. Her four sharp canine teeth liberate the four maras or demonic obstructions. Her twisting red tongue indicates that she leads beings from cyclic existence. Her blazing facial hair indicates her triumph over hopes and fears. And her two legs represent the ultimate purity of both samsara and nirvana. With her right hand, she wields aloft the vajra-handled curved knife of the dakinis. She circles it towards the ten directions to terrify all obstructive demons. She holds a skull-cup full of swirling fresh blood in front of her heart in her left hand. Resting in the crook of her left arm is the long shaft of her tantric staff or khatvanga. It represents the male essence of Heruka, as well as her ability to perform all kinds of method activities or skillful means. The top of her khatvanga is adorned with different paraphernalia. There is a golden crossed-vajra, a golden nectar vase, a billowing white silk ribbon, a freshly-severed head, a decaying head, a dry white skull, and an iron trident. A blazing mass of awareness fire emanates from her body. And right behind these orange-red flames appear the radiating golden light rays of her stunning blue aura. She stands on the left leg in a posture of dance atop a corpse, sun disc, and lotus blossom. And she is completely surrounded by the orange-red flames of pristine awareness. Dorje Phagmo In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajravarahi is a wrathful form of Vajrayogini associated particularly with the Cakrasaṃvara Tantra, where she is paired in yab-yum with the Heruka Cakrasaṃvara. Judith Simmer-Brown writes that "Vajravarahi's iconography is very similar to that of Vajrayogini, but she often has more prominent fangs and a more wrathful expression, and she prominently displays a sow's head above her right ear." Although there are practices of Vajravarahi in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, she is particularly associated with the Kagyu school and is one of the main yidam practices of that school. Her tulkus, the Samding Dorje Phagmo, are associated with the Bodongpa, a little-known school of Tibetan Buddhism. Tapihritsa Tapihritsa or Tapahritsa (c 7th ~ 8th century) was a Bon practitioner who achieved the Dzogchen mastery of the rainbow body and consequently, as a fully realised trikaya Buddha, is invoked as an iṣṭadevatā (Classical Tibetan: yi dam) by Dzogchen practitioners in both Bon and Tibetan Buddhism. He is known for his achievement of the rainbow body. The historical Tapihritsa was born in Zhangzhung to a family of nomads. Tapihritsa's principal teacher was Dawa Gyaltsen. Tapihritsa was contemporaneous with Ligmincha, King of Zhangzhung, and Trisong Detsen, Emperor of Tibet. Tapihritsa is often visualized as representing the realization of all the masters of the Zhangzhung Whispered Transmission (Wylie: zhang zhung snyan brgyud) lineage, one of the three Bon Dzogchen lineages.
