There are actually various sets of [[Thirteen Golden Dharmas]]. Standard to all these sets are:
 
 
The Three Red Ones: Vajrayogini of Naropa, Vajrayogini of Indrabhuti, and Vajrayogini of Maitripa. These three are from the [[Chakrasamvara]] cycle of tantras.
 
The Three Great Red Ones: Kurukulla of the [[Hevajra]] tantra, Takkiraja from the [[Guhyasamaja]] tantra, and Maharakta Ganapati from the [[Chakrasamvara]]] tantras.
 
The Three Small Red Ones: Kurukulla Tara, Red Vasudhara, and Tinuma.
 
The other four standard deities: Black Manjushri, Sabala Garuda from the [[Kalachakra]] tantra, and [[Simhanada Avalokiteshvara]] from its own tantra, and Red Jambhala from the [[Chakrasamvara]] tantras.
 
The alternate deities are: Simhamukha and Amaravajradevi from the [[Chakrasamvara]] tantras, and Amitayus from its own tantra.
