He is depicted holding the flaming sword of wisdom in his right hand, symbolizing the sharp and decisive power to cut through ignorance, confusion, and deluded perceptions. His left hand holds the stem of an utpala lotus supporting the Prajnaparamita Sutra, representing the perfection of wisdom and the profound teachings that reveal the true nature of reality.
