1) Kurukulla (啶曕啶班啶曕啶侧啶�) is the name of a 艢r膩vaka mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Ma帽ju艣r墨m奴lakalpa: one of the largest Kriy膩 Tantras devoted to Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Ma帽ju艣r墨 and were taught to and by Buddha 艢膩kyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Kurukulla).

2) Kurukulla (啶曕啶班啶曕啶侧啶�) (part the three great and lesser red ones) refers to one of the 鈥�Fourteen Golden Dharmas鈥� (of Lupa/Luipa) (Tibetan klu pa'i gser chos bcu bzhi) as well as one of the 鈥�Thirteen Golden Dharmas鈥� (of the Tsar-system Lamdr茅) (Tibetan: tshar lugs kyi lam 'bras gser chos bcu gsum).

碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 (啶曕啶班啶曕啶侧啶侧ぞ) refers to one of the various (female) emanations of 础尘颈迟腻产丑补 having their S膩dhana described in the 5th-century 厂腻诲丑补苍补尘腻濒腻 (a collection of s膩dhana texts that contain detailed instructions for rituals).鈥敯馨馨斐鼙舯裟� is said to confer success in the Tantric rite of Va艣墨kara峁嘺 or the rite of enchanting men, women, ministers, even kings. [...] The mantra of 碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 is 鈥淥峁� Kurukulle H奴峁� Hr墨岣� Sv膩h膩鈥�. When this mantra is muttered ten thousand times, all men are bewitched. Thirty thousand times would prove sufficient to subdue a minister, but the subjugation of a king requires no less than a lakh. 碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 can even confer on her devotees the power of subduing all ministers and kings.

There are various S膩dhanas for different forms of 碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 described in the 厂腻诲丑补苍补尘腻濒腻:

艢ukla-kurukull膩 (two-armed, white colour),
T膩rodbhava-kurukull膩 (four-armed, red colour),
U岣嶀笉iy膩na-kurukull膩 (four-armed, red colour),
A峁ａ弓abhuja-kurukull膩 (eight-armed, red colour),
M膩y膩j膩lakrama-kurukull膩 (six-armed, red colour).

碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 as an emanation of 础尘颈迟腻产丑补 of red colour generally assumes the red colour, but when two-armed, she has, according to the Sadh膩nam膩l膩 the white colour. [...] Strictly speaking, only those deities can be called T膩r膩s to whom the mantra: 鈥渙峁� t膩r膩 tutt膩re ture sv膩h膩鈥� is assigned. [...] From the colour of the different T膩r膩s it will be possible to refer them [viz., 碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻] to their respective Kulas or families presided over by the five Dhy膩ni Buddhas. [...] There are not many Red T膩r膩s in the Sadh膩nam膩l膩, 碍耻谤耻办耻濒濒腻 being the only one belonging to the red variety. As she bears the image of 础尘颈迟腻产丑补 on the crown, she inherits from him as his emanation, her red complexion.
