介绍（中）	这位八臂女神可以通过她手中的工具识别为Ushnishavijaya，这是七世纪和八世纪开始在印度佛教实践中发挥重要作用的几位女性神灵之一。她有三张脸，被认为是ushnisha的化身，ushnisha是标志着佛陀的颅骨突起。因此，她通常与专注于精神理解的实践的发展有关。女神右上手拿着一尊小佛像，左上手拿着一根长绳悬挂的双叉金刚。她的第二双手拿着弓箭，第三双手在胸前握着一个四叉金刚（象征着金刚力量的仪式工具）。第七只和第八只手是雕塑上最低的一对，提供一种仁慈的姿态，并拿着一个有盖的花瓶。雕塑的风格反映了清代西藏，蒙古和中国佛教文化之间的密切联系。
介绍（英）	This eight-armed goddess can be identified by the implements she holds as Ushnishavijaya, one of several female deities who began to play a prominent role in Indian Buddhist practices during the seventh and eighth centuries. She has three faces and is thought to personify the ushnisha, the cranial protuberance that marks a Buddha. Therefore, she is generally associated with the development of practices focusing on spiritual understanding. The goddess holds a small seated Buddha in her upper right hand and a two-pronged vajra suspended from a long rope in her upper left. Her second pair of hands holds a bow and arrow, while the third clutches a four-pronged vajra (a ritual implement symbolic of adamantine power) before her chest. The seventh and eighth hands, the lowest pair on the sculpture, offer a gesture of beneficence and hold a covered vase. The style of the sculpture reflects the close ties between the Buddhist cultures of Tibet, Mongolia, and China during the Qing dynasty.
