Parīttaśubhacakravartin (परीत्तशुभचक्रवर्तिन्) is the name of a Vīra (hero) who, together with the Ḍākinī named Parīttaśubhī forms one of the 36 pairs situated in the Kāyacakra, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava chapter 15. Accordingly, the kāyacakra refers to one of the three divisions of the nirmāṇa-puṭa (emanation layer’), situated in the Herukamaṇḍala. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs and Vīras [viz., Parīttaśubha-cakravartin] are body-word-mind-color (mixture of white, red, and black); they each have one face and four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.
