VI. Emanations of the five Dhyānī Buddhas: Prajñāpāramitā, Vajratārā, etc. A fine metal figure of the Vajratārā was discovered at Patharghata in the Bhagalpur District and identified by M. Foucher in 1905⁵. A second metal specimen has been collected for the Dacca Museum⁶ but the Curator, Mr. Nalinikanta Bhattasali, thinks that the specimen does not correspond to the Sādhana of the Vajratārā of the class of the emanations of the five Dhyānī Buddhas.
