'''Vajrapani''' (Skt. ''Vajrapānī''; Tib. ཕྱག་ན་རྡོ་རྗེ་, ''Chakna Dorje''; [[Wyl.]] ''phyag na rdo rje'') — one of the [[eight great bodhisattvas]] and [[lords of the three families]]. He represents the power of the [[buddha]]s and is usually depicted as blue in colour and holding a [[vajra]]. He is especially responsible for transmitting the [[tantra]]s to the human realm, and is known, in this context, as the 'Lord of Secrets' (Skt. ''Guhyapati''; Tib. གསང་བའི་བདག་པོ་, Wyl. ''gsang ba'i bdag po'').
