檢視 Twenty-eight ishvaris 二十八自在母的原始碼

The '''twenty-eight ishvaris''' (Skt. ''īśvarī''; Tib. ''wangchukma nyer gyé''; [[Wyl.]] ''dbang phyug ma nyer brgyad'') <noinclude> are found in [[Mahayoga]] mandalas, such as the [[fifty-eight wrathful deities]], and are also considered to be samaya-bound guardians in forms brought about by their own past actions. [[Yukhok Chatralwa Chöying Rangdrol]] explains the latter term by saying that such guardians "transcend the world and yet still appear in worldly forms created by their past [[karma]] and [[disturbing emotions]] like ordinary worldly beings. For example, when Vajra Manushya Rakshasi was the wife of Ravana, king of the [[Rakshasa]]s, she had the face of a rakshasi, but then when she was abducted by [[Rudra]], she transformed her rakshasi face into that of a yak."</noinclude>

The twenty-eight ishvaris are composed of four groups of six [[yogini]]s corresponding to the [[four activities]], and of the four female outer-gate keepers:
