Geyanṛtyābhiṣekatattvāvabodha (गेयनृत्याभिषेकतत्त्वावबोध) (=geyanṛtyābhiṣeka-tattvāvabodha) is the name of the seventh chapter of the Vajrāmṛtatantra or Vajrāmṛtamahātantra: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yoginītantras, probably datable to between the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. Chapter 7 (geyanṛtyābhiṣekatattvāvabodha-nirdeśa) starts with a praise of Vajrāmṛta sung by Māmakī, who is still involved in the love play with him, while joining her hollowed palms in reverence. This song contains a description of Vajrāmṛta, who is defined as a hero encircled by other heroes, who is joined by the group of mudrās; he emits a sound similar to that of kokilas and bees, he is goodlooking, and he experiences the pleasure of love; he is omniscient and friendly towards all beings; his body hair is bristled; and he makes love to the 24 Great Wisdoms (Tārā, Vitārā, etc.) in all three spheres of existence.
