Source: Wisdom Library: MañjuśrīnāmasaṃgītiSarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is one of the sixteen bodhisattvas appearing in the Vajradhātu-mahāmaṇḍala, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī v5.38-41. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī (literally, ‘an explanation of the nāma-mantras’) is a commentary (ṭīkā) on the 8th century Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti.
Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin is a name of Mañjuśrī (the embodiement of non-dual knowledge) and, together with other names, forms the core essence of the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti. The Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī provides the practitioner a sādhana (‘meditative practice’) to turn these names into mantras. These mantras are chanted for the benefit of all beings, and then placed and contemplated in the Vajradhātu-mahāmaṇḍala, which is an extended version of the Vajradhātu-maṇḍala.
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan BuddhismSarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin (सर्वनीवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is the name of a Bodhisattva mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin).
Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography1) Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) (“effacer of all sins”) is the name of a Bodhisattva commonly depicted in Buddhist Iconography, and mentioned in the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—his color is white or blue; his symbol is the sword and book.—Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin is also known by his shorter name of Viṣkambhin, and his statuettes occur at least four times in the Chinese collection. He is popular also in Tibet.
Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin is described in the Niṣpannayogāvalī as follows:—
(1: Mañjuvajra-maṇḍala):—“Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhī is of either blue or white colour. With the left hand he displays the Bhūṣparśa (earth-touching) mudrā; with the thumb and the index finger joined together in the clenched right hand he displays the act of pacification”. (2: Dharmadhatūvāgīśvara-maṇḍala):—“Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhī is blue in colour. With his right hand he holds the sword and with the left the banner marked with a double thunderbolt”.
2) Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhī (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भी) or Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhīlokeśvara refers to number 38 of the 108 forms of Avalokiteśvara found in the Machhandar Vahal (Kathmanu, Nepal). [Machhandar or Machandar is another name for for Matsyendra.].
Accordingly,—
“Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhī is one-faced and two-armed and sits in the Vajraparyaṅka attitude on a lotus. His right hand holds by its stem a lotus on which there is a sword, and his left hand holds the Vajra against his chest”.
The names of the 108 deities [viz., Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhī] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvara”, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions.Source: Wisdomlib Libary: Vajrayogini
Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin (सर्वनीवरणविष्कम्भिन्) is the name of a deity to be contemplated upon by a practicioner purifying his correspondences (viśuddhi), according to the 12th-century Abhisamayamañjarī. Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin is alternatively known by the name Mātsaryavajra because he destroyes miserliness (mātsarya). The contemplation is prescribed as a preliminary ritual for a yogin wishing to establish, or reestablish the union with a deity.
Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin is associated with the whole body and the color dark(-green). He is to be visualised as holding an attribute in his right hand and a bell in his left. The deities of the sense organs and fields are the esoteric equivalents of the deities associated with the skandhas.
Source: academia.edu: The Structure and Meanings of the Heruka MaṇḍalaSarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन्) or Sarvana is the name of a Vīra (hero) who, together with the Ḍākinī named Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhinī [or Sarvanī] forms one of the 36 pairs situated in the Hṛdayacakra, according to the 10th century Ḍākārṇava chapter 15. Accordingly, the hṛdayacakra refers to one of the four divisions of the sahaja-puṭa (‘innate layer’), situated within the padma (lotus) in the middle of the Herukamaṇḍala. The 36 pairs of Ḍākinīs and Vīras [viz., Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin] are reddish yellow in color; they each have one face and four arms; they hold a skull bowl, a skull staff, a small drum, and a knife.
Note: Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin is also known as Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhina.

These are generally the sixteen Bodhisattvas of the present aeon (bhadrakalpa) [e.g., Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhin], as described for example in Abhayākaragupta’s Niṣpannayogāvalī Vajradhātu-maṇḍala.—Cf. also Niṣpannayogāvalī 44ff and Abhayākaragupta’s Durgatipariśodhana-maṇḍala (Cf. Niṣpannayogāvalī 66ff).

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
