In his right hands, he holds a kartika (ritual chopper), a damaru (drum), and a cintāmaṇi (wish-fulfilling jewel), symbolizing his power to cut through ignorance, invoke spiritual rhythm, and grant prosperity. In his left hands, he wields a vajra axe, a trident, and a skull cup, signifying the destruction of obstacles, the union of wisdom and compassion, and the nectar of realization.
