Mahakala is also often shown holding a trident, which represents the three kayas, or bodies of the buddha. The handle of the trident represents the dharmakaya, the ultimate reality of the buddha; the upper spear represents the sambhogakaya, the enjoyment body of the buddha; and the lower spear represents the nirmanakaya, the manifested body of the buddha.

In addition to the trident, Mahakala is also often shown holding a sword, which symbolizes the cutting through of ignorance and the attainment of wisdom. He is also often shown holding a skull cup filled with blood, which represents the transformation of suffering into compassion and the attainment of enlightenment.
