Dear Mike, Jalendra means ocean, or as you say Lord of Water. He has a strong
connection with water. In the Lama Tsongkhapa Dharma Centre in Italy, there is a
statue of him in the middle of an ornamental pond, constantly being showered
with a water jet!

Subject: [lotsawa] Dzambhala question


I am looking for information about the practice of Dzambhala, in particular
background
information.

One question relates to the mantra om dzambhala dzalendraye swaha

looking in Monier Williams makes me think that jala is fluid and indra is indra
so we have
something like Lord of water, or Lord of lakes, but this is just a guess.

Any help on the context?

Mike
