“Ratnasambhava originates from the yellow syllable Trāṃ placed on the orb of the sun on the southern petal. He is yellow in colour, his recognition symbol is the jewel and he exhibits the Varada (gift-bestowing) Mudrā. He represents the cosmic element of Vedanā (sensation) and is the embodiment of slander (piśuna). He presides over the blood in the human system, and belongs to the Ratna (jewel) family of deities. He possesses the knowledge of Samatā (equality) and presides over the spring season, the saline taste, the Ta (dental) group of letters and the third and fourth parts of the day and night”.
