Dūraṅgamābhūmi (दूरङ्गमाभूमि) refers to the “far-reaching level”, 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 fire-circle (agnicakra)]: “[...] [Every Yoginī on this circle is of] the Far-Reaching Level (dūraṅgamābhūmi) [bhūmi dūraṅgamā caiva], lives in the sixth continent, is said [to dwell in] the melāpaka (“meeting”) [holy site], and has the nature of the wisdom and means. She indeed always [constitutes] a power circle and is to be understood as a beautiful woman [matching her consort hero resembling] her in appearance. All [deities on the circles] such as the Adamantine Circle are [placed] clockwise and anticlockwise. [...]”.
