Madanamātsaryasī (मदनमात्सर्यसी) (or Madamatsarī) is the name of a Ḍākinī who, together with the Vīra (hero) named Madanamātsaryasa forms one of the 36 pairs situated in the Cittacakra, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava chapter 15. Accordingly, the cittacakra refers to one of the three divisions of the nirmāṇa-puṭa (‘emanation layer’), situated in the Herukamaṇḍala. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs [viz., Madanamātsaryasī] and Vīras are black in color; they each have one face and four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.

Note: Madamatsarī is Madamānasārī (“loss of control and high pride”) in Jayasena’s Ratnapadmarāganidhi (D 1516, 31 r 2)
