Tattvayogajñāna (तत्त्वयोगज्ञान) (=tattvayoga-jñāna) is the name of the second chapter of the Vajrāmṛtatantra or Vajrāmṛtamahātantra: one of the main and earliest Buddhist Yoginītantras, probably datable to between the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. The second chapter, called Tattvayogajñānanirdeśa, starts by describing the amorous play between Māmakī, who is satisfied with the teaching she has just received, and the Vajra-holder, who, full of passion, strongly embraces her, kisses her, penetrates her, makes love to her, arouses passion in her by means of gentle words, squeezes her breasts, etc. Being satisfied in his turn, he is ready to give Māmakī whatever she desires.
