The king holds a flaming double-edge khadga (sword) and a phalaka (shield). These attributes are often paired together as twin weapons of defense and attach. Unlike the wrathful Seventh Dharma King, this king has the sword poised upright on one knee and the shield resting on the other. His shield is decorated with the kiritmukha (the face of glory). In the sky a dragon descends with a flaming jewel.
