Light yellow in appearance, she is an 18-armed Buddha-bhagavat'i (female Buddha) deity who is chief of all merits of the Lotus Court of the 胎藏界曼荼罗 Garbhakosa Mandala, & thus able to perform the functions of all the other Lotus deities. However she is not situated in the Lotus Court but at the left end of the Court of Sarvajna. Also called Cundhi Avalokitesvara 准提观音 sometimes. 'Sapta' means 7 & 'koti' is an astronomical number.

Namo saptanam samyaksambuddha kotinam tadyatha om cale cule cunde svaha
