Nine demeanours (or styles) of a wrathful deity (Wyl. gar gyi nyams dgu) — there are three of the body, three of the speech and three of the mind.
The three of the body are:
- enticing/seductive/captivating (Wyl. sgeg pa; Skt. lāsya)
- heroic (Wyl. dpa' ba; Skt. vīra)
- terrifying/ferocious (Wyl. 'jigs su rung ba)
The three of the speech are:
- menacing laughter (Wyl. rgod pa)
- harsh and threatening/stern (Wyl. gshe ba)
- ferocious/wrathful and thunderous (Wyl. drag shul; Skt. ūgra)
The three of the mind are:
- compassion (Wyl. snying rje; Skt. kāruṇika)
- yearning (to tame others)/magnificent power (Wyl. rngams pa; Skt. adbhūta)
- peace/tranquility (Wyl. zhi ba; Skt. śānti)
