He is also the focal deity of the main tantra of the Anuttarayoga Wisdom classification of Buddhism, symbolising the fulfilment of Wisdom and Compassion when blissfully embracing his consort. From Chakrasamvara's neck hangs a garland of severed heads, signifying the purification of speech and the mental factors according to the Chittamatra or Mind-Only School as described by Asanga.
