Vajrasatwo the sixth Dhyani Buddha is regarded by the Nepali Buddhist as the priest of the Five Dhyani Buddha. It is not represented in the stupa like other Dhyani Buddhas, but independent shrines are dedicated to its worship. His worship is always done in secret and is not open to those who are not privy to the secrets of Vajrayana. Vajrasatt wa is represented in two forms, single and yabyum.

Yab-yum, is a Tibetan word consisting of two parts, yab and yum, the word ‘Yab’ in Tibetan means the ‘honourable father’ and ‘Yum’ means the ‘honourable mother’. The combined word, therefore, means the father in relation of the mother or in her embrace.
