Source: De Gruyter: A Fragment of the VajrāmṛtamahātantraAmṛtavajrā (अमृतवज्रा) refers to one of the eight wisdoms (vidyās) described in the ‘śrī-amṛtakuṇḍalin-utpatti’ chapter of the 9th-century Vajrāmṛtatantra or Vajrāmṛtamahātantra: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yoginītantras. Chapter 9 begins with the visualisation of Amṛtakuṇḍalin [...] The practitioner should visualize a sword in his hand; afterwards, he should visualize the eight Wisdoms [viz., Amṛtavajrā] along with the door-guardians; eventually he should project the eight Wisdoms into the petals.
