Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesMeghinī (मेघिनी) refers to “female clouds”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: [while describing the earth-circle (medinīcakra)]: “[...] He should place [them] in order (1) Indrī, (2) Yamā, (3) Rudrā, (4) Yakṣiṇī, (5) Bhūtinī, (6) Ṛṣī, (7) Rākṣasī, and (8) Vāyubhāryā—he should place the female world guardians. There are [also] female serpents and female clouds (meghinī). He should place all [of them] on this [circle] completely. [...]”.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
