An instrument symbolising vajra is also extensively used in the rituals of the tantra. It consists of a spherical central section, with two symmetrical sets of five prongs, which arc out from lotus blooms on either side of the sphere and come to a point at two points equidistant from the centre, thus giving it the appearance of a "diamond sceptre", which is how the term is sometimes translated.
Vajra pestle symbolises the wisdom of Tathagata and it can break the barriers of the devil's inner world and eliminate trouble.
