۴Dzīśī (योगीश्वरी) (or Yogeśvarī) refers to one of the twenty-four Ḍākinīs positioned at the padma (lotus) in the middle of the ܰ첹ṇḍ, according to the 10th century Ḍākṇa chapter 15. Accordingly, between the north and west (of the ܰ첹-ṇḍ) are six Ḍākinīs who are half green and half red in color. They [viz., Yogeśvarī] are headed by the major four Ḍākinīs of the Cakrasaṃvara tradition. They stand in the Pratyālīḍha posture and, except for the body posture, their physical features and objects that they hold are the same as Vajravārāhīs.

Note: Yogeśvarī is ۴Dzīśī in Jayasena’s Ratnapadmarāganidhi (D 1516, 25 r 4)
