Vyomākāra (व्योमाकार) refers to the “appearance of the sky”, according to the thirty-third chapter of the Saṃvarodayatantra: a Buddhist explanatory Tantra of the Cakrasaṃvara cycle.—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind meditation: “Having established his state in that which is free of [all] states and having [thus] made his state supportless and the mind no-mind, [the Yogin] should not think of anything at all [...]. He should contemplate that his mind has the same flavour [as everything else] and is the same in appearance as the sky (vyomākāra-sama). [...]”.
