Simhamukha

Khen Rinpoche: Lion-Headed Dakini (Simhamukha) Mantra Aka Sama Raca Sada Rasa Mara Ya Phet The Wrathful Wisdom Dakini Simhamukha In terms of these Higher Tantras, a meditation deity (yi-dam lha) who is both wrathful and female is the Jnana Dakini Simhamukha. It is important to understand that, despite her exceedingly wrathful appearance and animal head, she is not a guardian spirit (srung-ma), subdued by magic, converted to the Dharma, and bound by oaths of service by some powerful Mahasiddha in the past.
