Santrāsanī (सन्त्रासनी) or Saṃtrāsanī, as mentioned in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 13) as one of the Ṣaḍyoginī, closely resembles Saṃstrāsinī, which is one of the six family deities presiding over twenty-four sacred districts, according to the Vajraḍākavivṛti commentary on the 9th-centruy Vajraḍākatantra.

Saṃtrāsanī (संत्रासनी) is the name of a Yoginī associated with the syllable “hūṃ” of the Ṣaḍyoginīmantra (six yoginī mantra): one of the four major mantras in the Cakrasaṃvara tradition, as taught in the eighth chapter of the 9th-century Herukābhidhāna and its commentary, the Sādhananidhi.  The Ṣaḍyoginī-mantra consists of six mantras taught to be the six Yoginīs. [...] These six Yoginīs are also found in Nāgārjuna’s Dharmasaṃgraha. A practitioner visualizes them [viz., Saṃtrāsanī] without male companions. Alternatively, a  practitioner visualizes them with their male consorts such as Vajrasattva.

Saṃtrāsaṇī (संत्रासणी) is the name of a deity [i.e., oṃ hūṃ hūṃ saṃtrāsaṇyai svāhā], according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—

Saṃtrāsanī (संत्रासनी) or Santrāsanī refers to the fifth of the “six Yoginīs” (ṣaḍyoginī) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 13). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., ṣaṣ-yoginī and Saṃtrāsanī). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
