Padmāntakṛt (पद्मान्तकृत्) is the name of a mantra uttered by Bodhicittavajra while creating the Tathāgatamaṇḍala (the circle of the five Dhyāni Buddhas), according to Guhyasamāja.—[...] When all the Tathāgatas were associated with their female counterparts the Lord sat in four more meditations and through these created four guardians of gates for the four cardinal directions. [...] In a third Samādhi the Lord became vibrant with the sound “Padmāntakṛt” which soon took the form of a violent deity representing the speech of the Tathāgatas and was placed at the western gate.
