Dveṣavajra (द्वेषवज्र) is an alternative name of Vajrapāṇi: a deity to be contemplated upon by a practicioner purifying his correspondences (viśuddhi), according to the 12th-century Abhisamayamañjarī. Vajrapāṇi is alternatively known by the name Dveṣavajra because he is the enemy of malice (dveṣa). The contemplation is prescribed as a preliminary ritual for a yogin wishing to establish, or reestablish the union with a deity.

Dveṣavajra is associated with the ears and the color black. He is to be visualised as holding an attribute in his right hand and a bell in his left. The deities of the sense organs and fields are the esoteric equivalents of the deities associated with the skandhas.
