Adhimukticaryābhūmi (अधिमुक्तिचर्याभूमि) or simply Adhimukticaryā refers to one of twelve Bhūmi Goddesses, as commonly depicted in Buddhist Iconography, and mentioned in the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—Her Colour is red; her Symbol is a red lotus; she has two arms. [...] These twelve bhūmis [viz., Adhimukticaryābhūmi] are two-armed and hold in the right hand the vajra and in the left their own weapons or signs.

Adhimukticaryābhūmi (अधिमुक्तिचर्याभूमि) refers to the “level of the practice of resolution”, 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: [while explaining the body circle (kāyacakra)]: “[Every Yoginī] has the nature of wisdom and means, dwells in the upapīlava (“near the village border”) [holy site], and is [of] the Level of the Practice of Resolution (adhimukticaryābhūmi) [bhūmir adhimukticaryā ca]. These are the twelve circle [deities]. Square [in shape], this circle has the name of the Emanation Body, [is decorated with] five lines [representing the Fivefold Gnosis] starting with the Mirror-like, and is marked with every [kind of good] characteristic. Sixteen [offerings] are performed by goddesses—[this is] the offering to the four layers [...]”.
