abstract	Vajra is a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond (or specifically adamantine; i.e. "diamond-like") and is a ritual tool or spiritual implement which is symbolically important to both Buddhism and Hinduism, but is particularly important in Buddhism. In Hindu mythology, Vajra is the weapon of Indra, the Vedic god of rain and king of Devas. It is a powerful weapon having the combined features of sword, mace, and spear. It was created out of hard thigh bones of sage Dadhichi who gave up his life willingly so that his spine could be used to build the weapon for use in a noble cause. Vritra, the serpent or dragon of drought, had swallowed the cosmic waters. Indra split the serpent's stomach by the vajra, releasing the waters. Due to this supreme sacrifice, the sage Dadhichi became a legend.
