Sarvasvabhāvaja (सर्वस्वभावज) refers to “that which emerges from intrinsic nature of all (i.e., the mind)”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: “Now, outside that, I shall explain this, the Mind Circle, clearly, [which is] black in color, [is provided with] thirty-six spokes, emerges from the intrinsic nature of all (sarvasvabhāvaja) (i.e., the mind), and is excellent. [...] The color [of their bodies] is the same as [the color] of the circle (black). The weaponry in hand are as before. [...]”.
