Description:
This book, first published in 1939, gives a descriptive outline of the principal gods in the Tibetan pantheon, tracing the main features and symbols that are used to denote each one. A comprehensive illustrated list of the various ritual objects, talismans, symbols, mudras, and asanas and vahanas that are used in the images of gods is accompanied with a word list of the Sanskrit terms most commonly encountered in a study of Lamaism. A set of 31 thangkas from the famous collection of Baron A. von Stael-Holstein has been included in this new and revised edition.
