Vajrasattva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an abstract realm and was initiated into the abhiseka ceremony by him. As a result, Kukai places Vajrasatva ahead of Amoghavajra in his list of Nagarjuna's gurus. Vajrasatva is depicted as a dark-skinned deity in Amoghavajra's testimony before the Imperial Council, clutching an unbreakable vajra and a bell.
