痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补 (啶掂啷嵿ぐ啶距ぎ啷冟い) is another name for the 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补mah膩tantra or 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补mah膩tantra, representing one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yogin墨tantras, probably datable to between the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. The text consists of a dialogue between a questioner and a/the Buddha or Bhagav膩n (in this work called Vajrin, 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补, and Mah膩sukha), who imparts the teaching. Following a well-established scheme, which here is probably modelled after the 艢aiva tantras, in this text the questioner is identified with the female consort of the Bhagav膩n instead of one of the Bodhisattvas, who are usually the recipients of the Tantric teachings.
痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补 as a is deity described in the 鈥�驳别测补苍峁泃测腻产丑颈峁办补-迟补迟迟惫腻惫补产辞诲丑补鈥� chapter of the 9th-century 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补tantra or 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补mah膩tantra: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yogin墨tantras. Chapter 7 starts with a praise of 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补 sung by M膩mak墨, who is still involved in the love play with him, while joining her hollowed palms in reverence. This song contains a description of 痴补箩谤腻尘峁泃补, who is defined as a hero encircled by other heroes, who is joined by the group of Mudr膩s; he emits a sound similar to that of kokilas and bees, he is goodlooking, and he experiences the pleasure of love; he is omniscient and friendly towards all beings; his body hair is bristled; and he makes love to the 24 Great Wisdoms (T膩r膩, Vit膩r膩, etc.) in all three spheres of existence.
The praise ends with two Apabhra峁兣沘 stanzas, which read: 鈥淵ou, dark like a petal of a blue waterlily, are the Tath膩gata, the Vajra-holder. Oh Pleasure of Sexual Delight, love me! By means of that you accomplish [your] duty in the three worlds. You are empty, pure, the supreme stage, the unchanging Vajra, beginningless. The living being鈥攅ither moving or unmoving鈥攚ho meditates on you, how can he be born again in the 蝉补峁僺腻谤补?鈥�.
