痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻尘补峁囜笉补濒补 (啶掂啷嵿ぐ啶оぞ啶む啶ぃ啷嵿ぁ啶�) refers to 鈥渢he 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of Vajradh膩tu鈥�, according to the N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 by Vil膩savajra, which is a commentary on the N膩masa峁僩墨ti.鈥擳he N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 interprets the N膩masa峁僩墨ti within the context of a Tantric 蝉腻诲丑补苍补, one based on an expanded version of the Tattvasa峁僩raha鈥檚 yogatantra 痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻尘补峁囜笉补濒补. The 尘补峁囜笉补濒补鈥檚 principal deity is a four-faced Mah膩vairocana, and it is in his heart that Vil膩savajra locates the 膧dibuddha, depicted with eight arms holding four swords and four book volumes.

Note: The 痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻尘补峁囜笉补濒补 is more accurately called the Vajradh膩tumah膩尘补峁囜笉补濒补. [...] The Tattvasa峁僩raha is known also by the more extended title, Sarvatath膩gatatattvasa峁僩raha. The shorter form is commonly found in Sanskrit sources, including the N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨.
