dpal gyi be'u

An auspicious symbol, taking the form of an endless knot, indicative of eternity.
śrīvatsa

Literally "the favorite of the glorious one," or (as translated into Tibetan) "the calf of the glorious one." This is an auspicious mark that in Indian Buddhsim was said to be formed from a curl of hair on the breast and was depicted in a shape that resembles the fleur-de-lis. In Tibet it is usually represented as an eternal knot. It is also one of the principal attributes of Viṣṇu.
