1) Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� (महामन्त्रानुसारिणी) refers to one of the female emanations of ṣoⲹ, as mentioned in the 5th-century 󲹲Բ (a collection of 󲹲Բ texts that contain detailed instructions for rituals).—Her Colour is blue; her Mudrā is varada; she has four arms.—The remarks made in the case of Mahāśītavatī, an emanation of Amitābha and one of the Pañcarakṣ� goddesses, apply to the case of Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� also. This goddess is another of the Pañcarakṣ� goddesses, and as her colour is blue, she affiliates herself to the family of the Dhyāni Buddha ṣoⲹ. Only one short 󲹲Բ describes her form.

The Dhyāna (meditation instructions) of Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� described in the 󲹲Բ as follows:�

“Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇī is four-armed and one-faced, is blue in complexion, shows in her two right hands, the vajra and the varadamudrā and in her two left the paraśu and the noose. She originates from the syllable “Hūṃ�. bears the image of ṣoⲹ on the crown, sits on and glows like the sun�

Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� was probably known in China under the title of Mantrānudhāriṇ�.

Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� is described in Niṣpannayogāvalī as follows:�

“In the South on the orb of the sun over a double lotus there is Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� with the halo of the sun. She sits in the 貹ⲹṅk attitude and is blue in colour Her principal face is blue, the right is white and the left is red. She is twelve-armed. With one pair of hands she displays the 2. 󲹰dz-ܻ. With another pair of hands she exhibits the 4. . In the remaining four right hands she shows 5. the vajra, 6. the arrow, 7. the varada and 8, the 󲹲ⲹ-ܻ. The remaining four left hands exhibit 9. the ٲᲹī with the noose, 10. the bow, 11 the jewel and 12. the jar marked with a lotus�.

The 󲹲Բ describes Ѳ峾ԳٰԳܲṇ� as twelve-armed.
