Amoghpasa Lokeshvara is a multifaceted form of Avalokiteshvara, known for his compassionate vow to aid those in distress, and has gained popularity in Nepal for centuries. The name itself implies his role as the ruler of the world, wielding an infallible noose that guides suffering beings toward enlightenment.
His second right hand, forming the Varada mudra gesture, signifies that practitioner of the Ashtami Vrat, who generate compassion and bodhicitta, receive all their desired blessings. The third right hand, grasping the Amoghapasha or infallible noose, highlights Amoghpash Lokeshvara's remarkable skill in employing means to lead ignorant beings onto the path of dharma. His fourth right hand, holding a rosary, symbolizes liberation from samsara's bondage through the recitation of Avalokiteshvara's mantra. Amoghpash Lokeshvara is further seen standing upon a brass chowki.
