Mahāpratisarā, another of his emanations, belongs to the Pañcarakṣā group, and affiliates herself to Ratnasambhava in the same way as the other members of the group affiliate themselves to one or another of the five Dhyāni Buddhas. Ratnasambhava is distinguished from the other Dhyāni Buddhas by his yellow colour and the Varada mudrā he displays with his right hand. The male deities that emanate from Ratnasambhava are Jambhala and Ucchuṣma-Jambhala, the latter being regarded as a terrible form of Jambhala.
