In Vajrayana Buddhism, a dharmapāla (Tibetan chos-kyong) is a type of wrathful deity. The name means "Dharma-defender" in Sanskrit, and the dharmapālas are also known as the Defenders of the Law (Dharma), or the Protectors of the Law, in English. In Tibet, principal Dharmapalas include: * Mahakala (Tib. Nagpo Chenpo) * Yama (Tib. Shinje) * Yamantaka (Tib. Shinje Shed) * Hayagriva (Tib. Tamdrin) * Vaisravana (Tib. Kubera) * Shri Devi (Tib. Palden Lhamo) * Changpa * Prana Atma (Tib. Begtse)
