Her name means 'Dakini of All Buddhas' and she represents Wisdom. Dakini's are female spirits who serve as guide and muse to tantric practitioners. She is an important goddess and appears often as tutelary deity on paintings. Less known are sculpted forms of Sarvabuddhadakini. She tramples on the Hindu gods Kalaratri and Bhairava as to demonstrate the superiority of the Buddhist teachings above Hindu ones.
