Ваматантры.

Вот тут интерестная находка!
Манджушримулакалпа (один из наиболее объёмных текстов класса крия-тантр)
содержит в главах 47, 49 практики связанные с Тамбуру и его 4 сёстрами - Джай, Виджая,
Аджита и Апараджита. А так же там история их обращения в Буддизм. Это могло бы и
"проскочить мимо", но штука в том, что это дэвата одного из главных (и сохранившихся до нашего времени)
текстов Ваматантр индуиского татризма! Был выпущен даже его частичный
перевод (правда не могу ещё найти).
Вот тут на английском есть краткое описание этой мандалы:

tumburu, the manifestation of rudra

From the northern head of the terrible rudra, known as the vAmadeva
head, manifests the emanation of vAmadeva known as the four-faced
tumburu surrounded by his 4 sisters. From the four faces of tumburu
narrate the four great vAma tantras: 1) The frightening shirashCheda
(also known as the jayadratha yAmala. 2) the terrific vINAshikA. 3)
the mahAsaMmohana and 4) nayottara.

The shirashCheda tantra gives the following description of the
tumburu emanation of vAmadeva:

tumburu is the lord rudra himself and is called the called the great
fierce reptile, the crest jewel of all the devas adorning their
shikha (a cryptic allusion to the sahasrAra). He two aspects asakala
and sakala, the latter being described here. He has four energies
which reside in the cave of the heart of his universal
consciousness. They are shAntikalA, vidyAkalA, nivR^ittikalA and
pratiShThakalA. These corresspond to his four companion goddesses
jayA, vijayA, ajitA and aparAjitA who generate the phenomenal
universe, while he himself is the fifth and highest energy
shAntyatItakalA, which transcends all manifestation. He resides in
the abode of soma (saumyadhAma), which is full of the savour of
countless mantras. His entire body is illuminated by the circle of
his light and rays of the jewels of his many vidyAs. He smells
sweetly with the scent on many garlands and his body is smeared with
a blood-red anguent. He shows the mudra of the shaktipITha and his
maNDala is that of the chandradurdaNDa. He has 4 hands in which he
holds a lasso, a~nkusha, trident and varada mudra. His four faces
are white, red, yellow and black. His body is like the blazing light
of mount Meru. His front face is like that of a man whose lotus eyes
are blooming and is most beautiful. He wears an earring and its rays
cover his face with a network of light. His neck is like a precious
gem and his hand is adorned with a ruby and emerald ring. He wears
rubies and emeralds and his strong hips are raimented in a rich
Kashmiri cloth. From his mouth comes a deep sound like the rumble of
a thundercloud. Of his remaining faces one is that of a crocodile
and the two side ones are of birds singing sweetly. The atoms
emerging from his lotus feet is the bliss realized by the vIras. The
a~nkusha is the goad of the universe, the lasso is the abode of all
fetters that binds beings as they rise to higher levels or descend.
The trident he sports has for its three prongs persistance, origin
and destruction. He bestows all that people desires with the varada
mudra.

tumburu resides in the circle of the 14 powers and great fetters and
is surrounded by a host of female gaNas. His female attendents laugh
and yell horribly and their forms are hideous in appearance. He is
the great hero who can consume the entire universe with a mere twand
of his great bow. At the same time he is the source of all existence
and its protector. He is the cosmic breath, the great mahAkAla and
kAlagnirudra.

He sits on a lotus with 4 petals. On the eastern petal is seated
jayA, vijayA in the south, ajitA in the north and aparAjitA in the
western petal. These lovely goddess are his sisters and they
melodiously play on their vINAs.

When the Javan naval expedition had ravaged Cambodia and conquered
it, the prince jayavarman II was taken captive to Java. There he met
a learned brAhmaNa from India named hiraNyadAman who was a great
exponent of the tantras of the vAmasrota. He taught the 4 tumbura
tantras mentioned above to shivakaivalya, the purohita of jayavarman
and performed a rite according to the vINAshikhA tantra to confer
certain siddhis on the prince jayavarman II. It is said that through
the yoga of the tantra rudra's emanation tumburu courses through the
path of pi~ngalA nerve and bestows powers to perform terrific deeds
(raudrakarman) and then tumburu courses through the iDA nerve track
and gives the ability to perform "bright deeds" shuchikarman. With
these siddhis the prince jayavarman is said to have waged war for 12
years and finally routed the Javan garrison in 802 AC. Having
liberated the kingdom of Cambodia and raised it to great glory and
founded his impregnable capital of Hariharalaya (the city of shiva
and viShNu). It was from this impregnable base that the Angkor
empire founded by jayavarman II held sway for almost 600 years with
only a single military defeat in this entire period. At the time of
jayavarman's coronation at Hariharalaya, hiraNyadAman recited the 4
tantras and shivakaivalya wrote all of them down. The tantras of the
vAmasrota learned by shivakaivalya were also used in the rites
involved in the consecration of the great shiva temple with a 1000
li~ngas at Phnom Kulen built by jayavarman II.
