Sometimes he is depicted with emblems with eight arms only carrying rosary, disc, varada mudra and jewel with his right hands and lotus, bow, vase and clapping Ratna with his left hands. He wears antilope skin on his shoulders symbolizing compassionate nature. He wears all the bodhisattva ornaments like earrings, and so on. He has eleven heads. the eleventh one being his spritual sire Buddha Amitabha. It is said that Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara made the commitment in front of Buddha Amitabha to intentionally manifest into the three realms of samsara in order to liberate all sentient beings from samsara and to be their supreme guide. He also vowed that if by chance his compassion and courageous mind of mercy for sentient beings were to decrease, then let his head and body just completely crack and fall into one thousand pieces. Receiving blessings from Buddha Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara went through universal manifestations into the three realms of samsara. thereby he went to Hell and emancipated them from both the hot and cold hells by teaching
Om mani pad me hung.
He in turn went to ghost realm, human, Asura and Deva realms to free the sentient beings from their respective suffering. He absolutely emptied the ocean of suffering. Following which he went back to Buddha Amitabha and declared that the liberation had been effected. Buddha Amitabha said to him, “you should look again, look back again and again into the world.” And as he did, there he saw once again that sentient beings were in samsara and in sorrow, he became so disappointed when he saw the sight. then his enlightened thought (Bodhicitta) decreasedin the moment and he lost his courage. He became disappointed in the very presence of Buddha Amitabha.
He felt how could the time come to liberate all sentient beings for ever from this type of condition. And instantly when his mind felt with sorrow, his body and head just cracked and fell apart into one thousand pieces, and then he fainted. Avalokiteshvara thus fainted, and Buddha Amitabha said to him, “My son where has your courage, your mental strength gone?” He picked up all the pieces of his body and the head. At the same time he said, “this happened because of your prayer. You deserve the praise of all Buddhas since your prayer was efficacious. However, noble son! Don’t worry.” thereby he blessed his broken heads into eleven faces and he sat upon those heads and his broken body into one thousand hands like one thousand petals of the lotus. thereafter he said, “I bow to you because your thousand hands are the hands of the thousand universal emperors and those eyes in each of the palms of the hands are the eyes of one thousand Buddhas who will appear in this fortunate aeon. After that Avalokiteshvara appeared in many different forms in order to tame the suffering sentient beings and he successfully accomplished many events. the image of 1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara in stone is rare in Kathmandu valley. the bronze images can be seen here and there. Basically a system of fasting ceremony called Nyune from Tibet came to Kathmandu too, through Tibetan Buddhists Masters. In this fasting ceremony the practice; or sadhana is usually devoted to this form of Avalokiteshvara. thousand armed Avalokiteshvara form of image can be found in China too. A giant image of 1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara is installed in the Maitreya temple in Tainan. It was carved out of wood and has aesthetical value.

Amoghpash Lokeshvara is a multi-armed form of Avalo-kiteshvara that seems to have been popular in Nepal since the middle ages. The name suggests that he is the Lord of the world with infallible noose which leads suffering sentient beings to enlightenment. According to the Amoghpasa Hrdaya Dharani Sutra, ninety-one aeons ago Avalokiteshvara received the transmission of this Dharani from Lokeshvararaja Tathagata. Since then he used that dharani to teach limitless sentient beings. As Avalokiteshvara manifests transformed body (Nirmanakaya) and uses this dharani to ferry over sentient beings, he is then addressed as Amoghpasa. Amoghpasa is popular not only in Nepal but in all countries where Mahayana Buddhism has spread. the images of Amoghpasa can be found in Java, China and Japan. According to Dr. Luciano Petech, the image of Amoghpasa in its earliest form can be found in the Arya Amoghpasa Sutra preserved in Kaisar Library, Kathmandu.
Amoghpasa has one face and wears a saffron dress. He has eight hands with the right hands showing the gesture of fearlessness, the boon granting gesture, the noose and holding the string of beads while the left hands holding a trident, a scripture, a white lotus and a water pot.
He has three divine eyes looking on the triple world. His first right hand in abhayamudra symbolizes that one who practices Astami brata sincerely protects them from falling into lower realms. the second right hand displaying Varadamudra shows that those who practice and generate compassion and Bodhicitta receive all desirable objects. the third hand holding Amoghpasa or infallible noose symbolizes that he has infallible skill in means to convert ignorant sentient beings into the path of liberation. the fourth right hand holding a rosary signifies that by the recitation of the six syllable mantras of Avalokiteshvara, one frees oneself from the bondage of samsara. Again among four left hands, one holding a water pot signifies that he has the capacity of empowering all the sentient beings into Buddhahood. the second left hand holding a lotus signifies that he frees the sentient beings residing in hell realms from the suffering of intense heat and cold just like a lotus emerges from muddy water. the third left hand holding a trident signifies that he purifies three poisons of sentient beings i.e. lust, ill will and stupidity. the fourth left hand holding a scripture signifies that he imparts wisdom to the devotees and thereby they attain liberation from cyclic existence.
