Virupaksa, also known as the King of the West, is one of the Four Heavenly Kings in Buddhist cosmology, representing the direction of the west and offering protection to the Dharma. His name translate "Wide-Eyed" or "All-Seeing," symbolizes insight, vigilance, and clairvoyance. As the protector of the western direction, he is illustrated in red and holds symbolic weapons such as a stupa, snake, or lasso. These items symbolize his power to control unseen forces and safeguard the Dharma. His watchful eyes reflect his ability to see beyond the visible, protecting Buddhist teachings. Many depictions connect Virupaksa to nāgas, ancient water spirits symbolizing hidden knowledge and wisdom stored underground, similar to Vishnu's role in guarding sacred knowledge.
This thangka print captures Virupaksa’s symbolism and spiritual presence. His fierce gaze and divine connection are vividly captured through the giclée process, emphasizing details with clarity. Many devotees find that chanting OM VIRUPAKSA NAGA DHIPATA YE SOHA can deepen their intuition and help uncover truths in dream yoga or tantra. It’s a beautiful practice that inspires curiosity and spiritual growth. This print acts as a spiritual guide and art piece, fostering a lasting connection to his all-seeing nature.
