Khaṭvāṅga
A khaṭvāṅga ((サンスクリット:खट्वाङ्ग)) is a long, studded club originally created as a weapon. It was adopted as a religious symbol in Indian religions such as Shaivism and Vajrayana Buddhism. The khatvāṅga was adopted by some lineages of historical tantra though it preceded such traditions.
==History==
In Hinduism, Shiva-Rudra carried the khatvāṅga as a staff weapon and are thus referred to as ''khatvāṅgī''s.
Beer (2003: p. 102) relates how the symbolism of the khatvāṅga in Vajrayana, particularly the Nyingma school founded by Padmasambhava, was a direct borrowing from the Shaiva Kapalikas, who frequented places of austerity such as charnel grounds and crossroads as a form of "left-handed path" (vamachara) sādhanā.
