Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhina (सर्वनिवरणविष्कम्भिन) 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., Sarvanivaraṇaviṣkambhina] 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: Sarvanivaranavishkambhina is also known as Sarvanivaranavishkambhin.
