Yantra of various types are found throughout Tantric literature and the supplementary practices. The Scorpion Yantra is generally associated with the practices of Guru Dragpo, a wrathful form of Padmasambhava, who holds the creature in the outstretched left hand. Each of the examples in this gallery have mantra inscriptions identifying the yantra with Guru Dragpo. A number of other fierce Nyingma deities have the scorpion as a servant or messenger figure. A very good example is Black Hayagriva.
