Bodhisattva Mahasri-mahavidya 大吉祥大明菩萨 also known as the Vajra of Spiritual Gift. In the Garbhakosa Mandala he is located in the middle row of the Lotus Court, 3rd from the bottom. He is flesh-colored, seated on a red lotus. He holds a stalk of fully bloomed lotus in his left hand & his right hand forms fist with the little finger protruded. Mahasri implies pure lotus samadhi, free from birth & death, & mahavidya implies limitless opportunity to be guided to the Dharma - the highest gift.

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