Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Kamakura period mandala with a two-headed depiction of Aizen Myōō (the red head in the left problably corresponding to Aizen and the black head to Fudō). According to Bernard Faure (2016), The Fluid Pantheon, volume 1, p. 208-209 ([1]): beneath are two acolytes Kongara (riding the elephant and aiming at the birds or demon above) and Seitaka (riding the tiger and aiming at the fox below). Both are surrounded by a halo of flames; five-pronged vajras are seen in the mouth of the lion in a frontal depiction below Aizen, another in the lion above, also a third one is held by Aizen. Above the two-headed Aizen, what should be two Dainichis are replaced by Monju on a eight-lion seat (left) and a triangle with two jewels (right) next to seven stars.
