The vibrations in like manner were condensed in the form of five goddesses as female counterparts of the five Tathāgatas already named and were placed in their appropriate positions. [...] Next, he became resonant with the sound “Moharati” which took the shape of a goddess and was placed in the eastern direction as the queen of Vairocana.
