Its ceremonial usage is first recorded in the Vajrakilaya Tantra, an eighth-century or older Vajrayana work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EY","offers":[{"title":"90cm  x 8cm","offer_id":47139388489978,"sku":"8849EYSword","price":5786.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/7218\/9604\/files\/210123df-8bdd-4406-84db-1cb9a698a1b5-copy.jpg?v=1739946358","url":"https:\/\/enlightenmentthangka.com\/products\/pure-silver-ritual-sword","provider":"Enlightenment Thangka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
