1) Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनिवारणविष्कम्भिन�) refers to one of the �Forty-two Peaceful Deities� (Tibetan: zhi ba'i lha zhe gnyis) according to various sources such as the Guhyagarbha Tantra and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.—They feature in Tantric teachings and practices which focus on purifying elements of the body and mind. These deities [e.g., Ծṇaṣk󾱲] form part part of the the Hundred Peaceful and Wrathful Deities who manifest to a deceased person following the dissolution of the body and consciousness whilst they are in the intermediate state (bardo) between death and rebirth.

Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (or Nivāraṇaviṣkambhin) is known in Tibetan as: Dripa Namsel [(1) sgrib pa rnam sel; (2) sgrib pa thams cad rnam par sel ba]. He is part of the “Eight Great Bodhisattvas�.

2) īṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनीवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is the name of a Bodhisattva mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including īṇaṣk󾱲).

3) īṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनीवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is the name of a deity to be contemplated upon by a practicioner purifying his correspondences (śܻ), according to the 12th-century Abhisamayamañjarī. īṇaṣk󾱲 is alternatively known by the name Mātsaryavajra because he destroyes miserliness (ٲⲹ). The contemplation is prescribed as a preliminary ritual for a yogin wishing to establish, or reestablish the union with a deity.—īṇaṣk󾱲 is associated with the whole body and the color dark(-green). He is to be visualised as holding an attribute in his right hand and a bell in his left. The deities of the sense organs and fields are the esoteric equivalents of the deities associated with the skandhas.

4) Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is one of the sixteen bodhisattvas appearing in the ղٳ-峾ṇḍ, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī v5.38-41. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī (literally, ‘an explanation of the 峾-Գٰ�) is a commentary (ṭīk) on the 8th century Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti.—Ծṇaṣk󾱲 is a name of Mañjuśrī (the embodiement of non-dual knowledge) and, together with other names, forms the core essence of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī provides the practitioner a 󲹲Բ (‘meditative practice�) to turn these names into mantras. These mantras are chanted for the benefit of all beings, and then placed and contemplated in the ղٳ-峾ṇḍ, which is an extended version of the Vajradhātu-maṇḍala.

1) Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) (“effacer of all sins�) is the name of a Bodhisattva commonly depicted in Buddhist Iconography, and mentioned in the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—his color is white or blue; his symbol is the sword and book.—Ծṇaṣk󾱲 is also known by his shorter name of Viṣkambhin, and his statuettes occur at least four times in the Chinese collection. He is popular also in Tibet.

Ծṇaṣk󾱲 is described in the Niṣpannayogāvalī as follows:�

(1: Mañjuvajra-maṇḍala):—“Ծṇaṣkī is of either blue or white colour. With the left hand he displays the Bhūṣparśa (earth-touching) mudrā; with the thumb and the index finger joined together in the clenched right hand he displays the act of pacification�. (2: Dharmadhatūvāgīśvara-maṇḍala):—“Ծṇaṣkī is blue in colour. With his right hand he holds the sword and with the left the banner marked with a double thunderbolt�.

2) Ծṇaṣkī (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भी) or Ծṇaṣkīlokeśvara refers to number 38 of the 108 forms of Avalokiteśvara found in the Machhandar Vahal (Kathmanu, Nepal). [Machhandar or Machandar is another name for for Matsyendra.].

ǰ徱Բ,�

“Ծṇaṣkī is one-faced and two-armed and sits in the Vajraparyaṅka attitude on a lotus. His right hand holds by its stem a lotus on which there is a sword, and his left hand holds the Vajra against his chest�.

The names of the 108 deities [viz., Ծṇaṣkī] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvara�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions.: academia.edu: The Structure and Meanings of the Heruka Maṇḍala

Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) or Sarvana is the name of a Vīra (hero) who, together with the Ḍākinī named Ծṇaṣk󾱲ī [or Sarvanī] forms one of the 36 pairs situated in the ṛdⲹ, according to the 10th century Ḍākṇa chapter 15. Accordingly, the ṛdⲹ refers to one of the four divisions of the Ჹ-ṭa (‘innate layer�), situated within the padma (lotus) in the middle of the ܰ첹ṇḍ. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs and Vīras [viz., Ծṇaṣk󾱲] are reddish yellow in color; they each have one face and four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.

Note: Ծṇaṣk󾱲 is also known as Ծṇaṣk󾱲a.

: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)

Ծṇaṣk󾱲 (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) refers to one of the sixteen Bodhisattvas, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī and Abhayākaragupta’s forty-three deity Mañjuvajra-maṇḍala (Tricatvāriṃśadātmakamañjuvajra-maṇḍala: see Niṣpannayogāvalī 50).—A set of sixteen Bodhisattvas often supplements the deities of the Tattvasaṃgraha in later Vajradhātu-maṇḍala descriptions. These are generally the sixteen Bodhisattvas of the present aeon (bhadrakalpa) [e.g., Ծṇaṣk󾱲], as described for example in Abhayākaragupta’s Niṣpannayogāvalī Vajradhātu-maṇḍala.—Cf. also Niṣpannayogāvalī 44ff and Abhayākaragupta’s Durgatipariśodhana-maṇḍala (Cf. Niṣpannayogāvalī 66ff).
