The Four-Armed Mahakala Bodhisattva, a wrathful deity, is a powerful protector in Tibetan Buddhism, known for removing obstacles to enlightenment. His four arms signify his power to overcome the four maras, which symbolize hindrances to spiritual progress. In his primary right hand, he holds a kartrika (vajra-handled curved knife), symbolizing the cutting away of ignorance and obstacles. His left-hand holds a kapala (skull cup), representing the transformation of negativity into wisdom. The upper right-hand carries a flaming sword, signifying continuous spiritual practice, while the upper left-hand holds a trident, dispelling ignorance, attachment, and aversion.

Mahakala, the archetype and protector, can be of essential help, like a fearsome warrior ally if one chooses to wage war with one's ego and negative aspects in the process of opening up the Buddha-nature, which is the non-ego, non-self, non-soul, pure and omniscient "clear light" nature of all beings. The wrathful form of Mahakala is compassion personified and expressed as the power that can be harnessed and turned against the incredibly wily, stubborn, subtle, and stealthy enemy–the self-inflicted ego.
