Sengge Dradog (English: Guru Lion's Roar): #8 from the set of Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava.

Fiercely wrathful, dark blue in colour, with one face and two hands, he has three eyes and dark yellow hair flaming upward. The right hand holds a gold vajra and the left outstretched in a fierce gesture. Adorned with a skull crown, gold ornaments, a necklace of severed heads and a snow lion skin tied about the neck he wears a tiger skin as a skirt. Standing atop a sun disc and multi-coloured lotus he is completely surrounded by the bright orange flames of pristine awareness fire.

Sengge Dradog represents the period of time when Padmasambhava remained for 5 years in a charnel ground teaching to the dakinis and others. At this time he also defeated in debate the Tirthakas from South India.
