ղūⲹ (वज्रसूर्�) is one of the sixteen deities appearing in the ղٳ-峾ṇḍ, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī v5.32-35. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī (literally, ‘an explanation of the 峾-Գٰ�) is a commentary (ṭīk) on the 8th century Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti.

ղūⲹ is a name of Mañjuśrī (the embodiement of non-dual knowledge) and, together with other names, forms the core essence of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī provides the practitioner a 󲹲Բ (‘meditative practice�) to turn these names into mantras. These mantras are chanted for the benefit of all beings, and then placed and contemplated in the ղٳ-峾ṇḍ, which is an extended version of the Vajradhātu-maṇḍala.

ղūⲹ (वज्रसूर्�) is an alternative name for the name of Ratnasaṃbhava: a deity to be contemplated upon by a practicioner purifying his correspondences (śܻ), according to the 12th-century Abhisamayamañjarī. The contemplation is prescribed as a preliminary ritual for a yogin wishing to establish, or reestablish the union with a deity.

ղūⲹ is associated with the skandha named (feeling) and the color yellow. He is to be visualised as standing in the warrior (īḍh) stance, having three eyes, matted locks and bearing the five signs of observance (ܻ).
