In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Vṛndākaumāriparvaka (वृन्दाकौमारिपर्वक) is the name of a mountain, 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, [the Blessed One] has taught [holy sites] such as the pīṭha and upapīṭha in sequence. [...] (7) The melāpaka [sites] are proclaimed to be a bank of a river, a garden, an ocean, and a place where four roads meet. (8) The upamelāpaka [sites] are on the summit of a mountain, the center of a village, and Vṛndākaumāriparvaka (or a mountain [where there is] a flock of maidens). A lineage land is [also] the upamelāpaka. [...]”.
Note: Vṛndākaumāriparvaka (Tibetan: tshogs can gzhon nu\'i ri) is derived from Vindhyākaumārapaurikā (a holy site’s name) in the Hevajra. In manuscript C of the Ḍākārṇava, it is Vṛndakaumāriparvata (an emendation of Vṛndākaumāriparvaka), meaning “a mountain [where there is] a flock of maidens”.
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.
