In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist IconographyVajrasattvātmikā (वज्रसत्त्वात्मिका) is the Śakti, or female counterpart (spiritual consort) of Vajrasattva: one of the Dhyāni-Buddhas, according to Vajrayāna or Tantric Buddhism.—Her colour is white; her symbol is the kartri and kapāla; and she has two arms.—Vajrasattvātmikā As all the Dhyāni Buddhas have a Śakti each attached to them, even so the Sixth Dhyāni Buddha Vajrasattva also can claim a Śakti. Vajrasattvātmikā thus is the spiritual consort of the Sixth Dhyāni Buddha Vajrasattva. Hejr Dhyāna is rarely found in Tantric literature, but her form can be seen from the images where she is in close embrace with Vajrasattva in Yab-yum. In such cases she carries the Kartri in the right hand and Kapāla in the left.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
