In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)

䲹ś (चक्रेश) refers to the “lord of the ṇḍ�, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—At the centre of the ñ峦 a final form is generated, that of Mañjuśrījñānasattva (“the gnosis-being Mañjuśrī�), who is seen as the embodiment of non-dual gnosis (屹ⲹñԲ). Mañjuśrī-jñānasattva is visualised as six-faced, and holding a blue lotus in each of his two hands. Each lotus is crowned with a volume of the Prajñāpāramitā. As a result, although the Ādibuddha is, in a sense, the ś (“lord of the ṇḍ�) of Vilāsavajra’s Vajradhātu-ṇḍ, he is the intermediate figure of three forms, all of whom have, or share, that role.
