Khasarpaṇi (T. kha sar pa Ni ཁ་སར་པ་ཎི་). "Sky-traveler Lokeśvara." A form of Avalokiteshvara with one face and two hands. His right hand is in the mudra of supreme generosity, and the left is often in the mudra of teaching the Dharma and holds a lotus blooming at the level of his left ear.
Iconographically, Avalokiteshvara Khasarpani is often indistinguishable from the seated form of Amoghapāśa (Unfailing Lasso). They are often conflated in both Sanskrit and Tibetan texts and practices.[1]
A famous sandal wood image of Avalokiteshvara in the form of Khasarpani, named "Wati Sangpo" (T. wa ti bzang po), is preserved by the 14th Dalai Lama, at Dharamsala in India.[2]
