The yellow garuḍa of the Jowompampa system is a garuḍa with golden wings and a vajra beak. His body is of the nature of a vajra and blazes with fire. He holds a precious jewel in his left hand and a three-headed nāga in his right hand. He wears a crown of jewels, pearls, and gold. He is adorned with nine-headed snakes. He tramples the eight nāgas under his feet. A retinue of garuḍas surrounds him. Both the new and old tantras say that he is an emanation of glorious Vajrapāṇi. He has the five families of garuḍas with various powers of pacifying, increasing, controlling, and subjugating. In the definitive meaning, these arise in the form of hand deities, like the five wisdoms of power and capacity in the minds of the Tathāgatas of all times and places. If you rely on them, the harms of nāgas and earth lords are pacified and destroyed and are very swift. This was developed in Tibet. These garuḍa hosts are prophesied in many tantras spoken by the Buddha.
