“Amoghasiddhi originates from the green syllable Khaṃ placed on the orb of the sun on the northern petal of the lotus, and is of green colour. [His recognition symbol is the Viśvavajra or the double thunderbolt. He exhibits the Abhaya (protection) mudrā and represents the cosmic element of Saṃskāra (conformation). He is the embodiment of the rainy season and is a demon by nature; [he belongs to the Karma family] and he represents the bitter taste, the Pa (labial) group of letters and the middle part of the night.”
