۲Գٲṛt (यमान्तकृत्) is the name of a mantra uttered by Bodhicittavajra while creating the ղٳ岵ٲṇḍ (the circle of the five Dhyāni Buddhas), according to Guhyasamāja.—[...] When all the Tathāgatas were associated with their female counterparts the Lord sat in four more meditations and through these created four guardians of gates for the four cardinal directions. [...] First, he sat in the Mahāvairocanavajra Samādhi and became resonant with the sound “۲Գٲṛt�. These sound vibrations soon assumed the concrete shape of a violent deity, fearful to the Tathāgatas, and was placed at the eastern gate.
