Notes
There are a couple of incorrect variations on the spelling of the name Ākāśadhātvīśvarī.
One sees, for instance, the spelling Ākāśadhātīśvarī which may be down to Lama Govinda as he uses that spelling in his Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism.
One may also see Ākāśadhāteśvarī and this may be an attempt to model it on the name Avalokiteśvara but it is erroneous.
Ākāśadhātvīśvarī a compound of ākāśa + dhātu + īśvarī.
When combining the last two words in a compound the Sanskrit sandhi rules dictate that u + ī combines give vī. (according to my Sanskrit guru)
