It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rig Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, derived from Sanskrit, was most likely associated with Vedic sacrifices. Meditation on the Vajrakila Tantra, an early Indian scripture first promoted in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, is used to invoke the three-headed Vajrakila Buddha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"breadcrumbs--last text-subtext\"\u003eView More from\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"breadcrumbs--last text-subtext\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/collections\/ritual-dagger-phurba-collection\" title=\"Ritual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOur\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/collections\/ritual-dagger-phurba-collection\" title=\"Ritual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRitual Daggers (Phurbas) Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EO","offers":[{"title":"22.5cm x 4cm","offer_id":50538566025470,"sku":"28464EOPhurba","price":459.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7214\/2590\/files\/uc_d1f127e1-229d-4fad-bc5d-71c4c92f8eb8.jpg?v=1790229107","url":"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/products\/buddhist-shrine-altar-phurba","provider":"Evamratna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
