Figure 119: Sukhāvatī Lokeśvara
(Nepal)
A description of the deity occurs in the Dharmakoṣasaṅgraha (Dharmakośasaṃgraha) of Amṛtānanda. Nepal abounds in images of Sukhāvatī Lokeśvaṛa both in stone and in bronze, though his images are not found in any other Buddhist country of the North.
Fig. 119 illustrates a sculpture from Nepal representing the deity Sukhāvatī Lokeśvaṛa. Here the god is in the company of his Śakti but is without the other companions as prescribed.
