[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Aryavajravarahi in Tibetan Buddhism glossary
: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography

Āⲹī (आर्यवज्रवाराही) is a variety of ղī: one of the various emanations of Vairocana, as mentioned in the 5th-century Sādhanamālā (a collection of sādhana texts that contain detailed instructions for rituals).—Her Appearance is terrible; her Āsana is the īḍh; she has four arms.

The four-armed form of ղī is also similar to the forms mentioned before, and is called Ārya-ղī. The difference lies only in the attitude, number of arms, and the symbols carried in her hands. She carries in the two right hands the vajra and the goad, and in the two left the and the ٲᲹī with the noose. She is one-faced and three-eyed, and appears terrible with contortions of eye-brows, the adamantine excrescence, and the protruding tongue, teeth and belly. She stands in the īḍh attitude on the corpse, unlike the other forms of ղī. The ṭvṅg hangs from her left shoulder as usual.
