āgaṃ
| Notes | [fr. S. āgama] var. āgaṇa; n. the place where the image of the family deity is housed; the household chapel (Malla 2000: 16). Usually housed on the first floor of a monastery, the āgaṃ is a shrine of its principal deity, Cakrasaṃvara, who is worshipped by a Vajrācārya priest. Sometimes a Śākya elder may also perform the daily worship of Cakrasaṃvara if the monastery belongs exclusively to Śākyas. |
