Source: Wisdom Library: 峁峁璼膩hasra-sa峁僪it膩惭补诲补诲谤补惫腻 (啶う啶︵啶班さ啶�):鈥擮ne of the twelve 驳耻峁嘺蝉 associated with K膩ma, the second seat of the 厂惫腻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑腻苍补-肠丑补办谤补. According to tantric sources such as the 艢r墨matottara-tantra and the Gorak峁sa峁僪it膩 (K膩diprakara峁嘺), these twelve 驳耻峁嘺蝉 are represented as female deities. According to the 峁峁璼膩hasrasa峁僪it膩 however, they are explained as particular syllables. They (e.g. Mandadrav膩) only seem to play an minor role with regard to the interpretation of the Dev墨cakra (first of five chakras, as taught in the 碍耻产箩颈办腻尘补迟补-迟补苍迟谤补).
She is also known by the name Mandadrav膩, according to the 艢谤墨尘补迟辞迟迟补谤补迟补苍迟谤补.
