Yogavāhin (योगवाहिन्) (Cf. Yogavāhinī) refers to “that which brings the meditative union”, 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, “[...] (The meaning of the letter he, i.e., the emptiness of cause and so on, etc.—) The letter he is [as follows]: From the heart, [he should visualize] all [deities], such as Heruka, [who] reside on their own circles. [Vajra-]holders and others are originating; [he should know] all [of them] originating through visualization. That [letter he represents the principle that] the cause is empty by nature; there is no conceptualization of cause and so on as selves. That [letter he refers to] the selflessness of phenomenal existences by nature, [or the state of] being empty [Emptiness] brings the meditative union (yogavāhinī) [...]”.
