Ushnishavijaya (Tibetan: Namgyalma or Namgyelma): goddess of long-life.
Ushnishavijaya, the colour of an autumn moon; with three faces, white, yellow and blue and eight hands. Each face has three very large eyes. The first right hand holds a visvavajra, second a white lotus with Amitabha residing, third an arrow and the fourth in supreme generosity. The first left holds a vajra lasso, second a bow, third bestowing protection and fourth in meditative equipoise holding an auspicious nectar vase; complete with silks and jewel ornaments, seated in [vajra] posture.
Ushnishavijaya is often shown in a triumvirate with the other two principal long-life deities, red (male) Amitayus and White Tara.
