Jñānasaṃdoha (ज्ञानसंदोह) refers to “abundant (omniscient) knowledge”, according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Oṃ abundant omniscient knowledge (sarvajña-jñānasaṃdoha), gladdening for the world's sake, Come forth like a wish fulfilling gem, Śrī Saṃvara, I give homage”.
