The Hare (animal) is associated with the Yoginī (female deity) named Śaśī, being situated in the Medinīcakra, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, the medinīcakra refers to one of the three divisions of the dharma-puṭa (‘dharma layer’), situated in the Herukamaṇḍala. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs [viz., Śaśī] and Vīras are yellow in color; the shapes of their faces are in accordance with their names [e.g., Hare]; they have four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.
