中幻母

肤色蔚蓝，一面二臂，右手执天杖，左手找顶骨，并拥抱与己相似的智慧女；三只慧眼，褐发卷曲，以顶骨作冠，以六骨饰和蛇为饰，结半伽趺舞姿而住。由多罗那他从布达那他所受，而传入藏区。

咒语：唵阿师吽索哈。

The deity Mahamaya originates in the Sanskrit text of the Mahamaya Tantra and subsequently found in the Tibetan compilation collections of the Vajravali, Mitra Gyatsa, Rinjung Gyatsa and Rinjung Lhantab. Mahamaya is also regarded as a special deity of the Ngog lineage of the Marpa Kagyu Tradition. Within the Shangpa Kagyu School Mahamaya is included as one of the  (Gyu de lha nga) combined as a single meditation practice.  

Mahamaya has four faces and four arms, blue in colour, embracing the consort Buddha Dakini. She also appears with four faces and four arms. Both figures hold an arrow, bow, skullcup and katvanga staff. In the Shangpa Kagyu, Vajravali and Mitra Gyatsa traditions the consort can also be depicted as red in colour. In the Mitra Gyatsa there is a one faced two-armed form of Mahamaya with consort. In all of these different traditions the central deity and consort are accompanied by four Dakinis, Surrounding the principal couple are four female figures, blue Vajra Dakini, yellow Ratna Dakini, red Padma Dakini and green Vishva Dakini, hence the name Mahamaya Five Deity Mandala.
