Dveṣarati (द्वेषरति) is the name of a mantra uttered by Bodhicittavajra while creating the Tathāgatamaṇḍala (the circle of the five Dhyāni Buddhas), according to Guhyasamāja.—[...] Then the Lord sat in a series of special samādhis, five in number, and became resonant with five different mantras. The vibrations in like manner were condensed in the form of five goddesses as female counterparts of the five Tathāgatas already named and were placed in their appropriate positions. [...] Thus, the Lord in the first Samādhi became resonant with the sound “Dveṣarati” which transformed itself into the form of his own queen and was placed on his own seat.
