Bhūtinī (भूतिनी) refers to one of the female world-guardians (lokapālinī) of the Medinīcakra, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava chapter 15. Accordingly, the medinīcakra refers to one of the three divisions of the dharma-puṭa (‘dharma layer’), situated in the Herukamaṇḍala. Bhūtinī is associated with the charnel ground (śmaśāna) named Uccāṭaṇa; with the tree (vṛkṣa) named Bilva; with a female serpent (nāginī) and with a female cloud (meghinī).
