Khatvanga

La Khatvanga o también Khatwangam, Khatwang o Khatvangam es un bastón largo originalmente concebido como arma a veces terminado en tridente.

Con el auge del Budismo fue ganando sentido religioso perdiendo el anterior como arma. Usualmente esta gravados con calaveras y lleva tres cabezas significando el triunfo sobre los tres mundos o triloka. Puede verse en las iconografías de Vajrayoguini y Padmasambhava
