Māmakī Mantra
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Māmakī is yellow in colour, and her name means "Mine-maker".
She identifies with everything and everyone as "mine", she makes no distinctions.
Her right hand is in the varada mudra, and he left hand holds a lotus on which rests a vajra bell.
Māmakī is the consort or prajñā of Ratnasambhava
Seed Syllable
The seed syllable of Māmakī is māṃ (pronounced like mung) the first syllable of her name with the anusvāra.

Transliteration
oṃ ra tne su ra tne māṃ svā hā
Notes
Ratna is the Sanskrit word for jewel, and ratna is (probably intended to be) the vocative form – ‘O jewel’. The prefix su- means ‘well, good, virtuous’.
Svāhā is an ancient Vedic word that was used to mark the making of oblations to the sacred fire.
For the Tibetan script I have transliterated: rat ne su rat ne because this would be more natural for Tibetan pronunciation.
