Prajñāntakṛt (प्रज्ञान्तकृत्) 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. [...] Next, he became vibrant with the sound “Prajñāntakṛt”. The sound vibrations soon assumed the form of a violent deity, fearful to the Vajra process, and was placed at the southern gate.
