Cakravapus (चक्रवपुस�) refers to “one whose body is the wheel (of consciousness)�, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa by Arṇasiṃha.—Accordingly, “[...] (Again, She is called Maṅgalā because she is) the intense inebriation brought about by the flux of the juice of the aesthetic delight [i.e., rasaugha] penetrated by the Supreme (experienced) by moving in the Supreme Space, which is free of the differentiated manifestation of (the phases of) emanation and the rest. She is ever the Inexplicable ( state) of the Supreme Principle whose body is the Wheel (of consciousness) [i.e., cakravapus]. Thus she is called Maṅgalā (Auspicious) here (in the world), and her nature is free of obscuration�.
