Bodhisattva Gauri-mahavidya 大明白身菩萨 also known as the Vajra of Releasing Light or Constant Purity. Thus named as he is a deity manifesting perfect purity & freedom from defilement. In the Garbhakosa Mandala he is located in the 1st row of the Lotus Court, 2nd from the bottom. His flesh is pale yellow, & is seated on a red lotus. In the left hand he holds a fully bloomed lotus & his right forms a mudra of wish fulfillment. If there are sentient beings desiring absolute freedom this deity is able to grant their wishes by his virtue.

His Garbhakosa mantra is: Namah samanta buddhanam ksah dah ra yam kam
