The depiction of Vajrakilaya in unity with his consort represents the inseparable nature of compassion (upaya) and wisdom (prajna), which are essential components of the enlightenment path. Wearing crowns of skulls, Vajrakilaya and his consort represent the conversion of the five poisons (delusion, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy) into the five wisdoms of the Buddhas. Vajrakilaya's consort's protective nature, along with his own fierce force, make him an effective protector and remover of spiritual barriers.

Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurpa), also known as Vajrakumara (Dorje Zhonu, Youthful Vajra), is the wrathful Heruka deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas. Vajrakilaya is one of the eight Heruka deities of the Nyingma tantras. Vajrakilaya is also the personal meditational deity of Guru Padmasambhava. He practiced meditation on Vajrakilaya when many obstacles manifested before his display of attaining enlightenment.
