Choskamuni, the formidable black goddess protector, stands as a potent guardian of the faith. Known as Shri Devi in Sanskrit, she manifests as a wrathful emanation of Saraswati. When confronted with continued human sacrifice, she fulfilled her vow to end this practice. Upon mounting a mule covered with her own son's flayed skin to escape the kingdom, the king's arrow struck the mule's haunch. Remarkably, Shridevi transformed the wound into an eye, enhancing her ability to vigilantly oversee the realms of Buddhist devotion.
Riding a white wild ass adorned with skulls, she wields a skull cup filled with brains while traversing a sea of blood. Alongside, a pair of dice hangs from the wild ass, determining the karmic fate of sentient beings, accompanied by a bag brimming with worldly ailments.
Her grip on a staff dedicated to subduing demons reinforces her commitment to safeguarding Buddhist teachings, institutions, and practitioners.
