Type: Poison/snake-associated tantric goddess
Jāṅgulī appears in Buddhist tantric corpora as a deity associated particularly with poison and snake danger. Later ritual systems include mantra, visualization and maṇḍala.
Practice architecture
Section titled “Practice architecture”Refuge/bodhicitta → authorized self/front generation where applicable → seed syllable and deity visualization → mantra accumulation → protection/healing aspiration → dissolution/dedication.
How to learn
Section titled “How to learn”Because the surviving Jāṅgulī material occurs inside tantric systems, distinguish public textual study from deity practice. Locate the exact sādhana; identify its tantra class; determine whether empowerment, reading transmission and practice instruction are required; receive those from a qualified lineage holder before performing self-generation.
Reliability: B for generalized practice architecture; individual manuals must be cited separately.
