In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography

Vaśitā (वशिता) refers to a group of twelve deities, commonly depicted in Buddhist Iconography, and mentioned in the 11th-century Niṣpannayogāvalī of Mahāpaṇḍita Abhayākara.—The Vaśitās  according to Buddhism, are the controls or disciplines which lead to the spiritual regeneration of its followers. The Vajrayānists recognized twelve Vaśitās, each with a special name and conceived them in the form of deities with heads, arms, weapons and special symbols. These Vaśitās are collectively taken to be the spiritual daughters of the Dhyāni Buddha Amitābha.

The description of the Vaśitā goddesses is not found in the existing original literature and thus it is of unusual interest. Their iconographic interest becomes all the more attractive since in China there are statuettes in metal which correctly represent the Vaśitā  goddesses. Statues of these are not found anywhere in India, but their statuettes in the Chinese collection of Buddhist deities at Peiping are illustrated in the Two Lamaistic Pantheons of W. E. Clark.

Vaśitā (वशिता) refers to “control (over all dharmas)”, according to the Mahāvairocana-sūtra (Cf. Taishō 18.14c15-19).—Accordingly, “Then the World-honored One Śākyamuni entered the samādhi ‘Place of Jewels’ and uttered his own heart[-mantra] and the mantras of his attendants: ‘namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, sarva kleśaniṣūdana sarvadharma vaśitāprāpta gaganasamāsama svāhā’—(Homage to all Buddhas! O you who destroy all defilements! you who have won control [i.e., vaśitā-prāpta] over all dharmas! you who are equal to the sky and unequaled! svāhā!)”—(Cf. Giebel 2005, 61).

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Vaśita (वशित) refers to “(obtaining) mastery (over all the dhyānas of the heretics)”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 8).—Accordingly, “[Question: How does the Bodhisattva fulfill the virtue of meditation (dhyānapāramitā)?]—[Answer]—When he obtains mastery (vaśita) over all the dhyānas of the heretics (tīrthika). Thus king Śaṅkhācārya, seated in meditation, had no in- (āna) or out- (apāna) breath. A bird came and laid her eggs in his top-knot which was in the form of a conch (śaṅkhaśikhā); the Bodhisattva remained motionless (acala) until the fledglings flew away”.

Vaśitā (वशिता) refers to “mastery (of the arising of birth and death)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Then, the bodhisatva, the great being, Gaganagañja addressed himself to the Lord: [...] (27) [How do the Bodhisattvas] purify their own realm (svaviṣaya) after having obtained the realm of the Buddha? (28) [How do the Bodhisattvas] obtain memory without forgetfulness? (29) [How are the Bodhisattvas] always supported by the presence of the Buddha and thus having unhindered eloquence? (30) [How do the Bodhisattvas] attain the mastery (vaśitā-prāpta) of the arising of birth and death? [...]’”.
