 The query རྡོ་རྗེ་བདུད་རྩིའི་རྒྱུད refers to the Vajrāmṛtatantra (The Tantra of Vajra Nectar), a significant scripture belonging to the Anuttarayogatantra class of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist canon. In traditional Tibetan taxonomies of the Mother Tantras (ma rgyud), particularly within the systems preserved by the Sakya and Jonang traditions, tantric scriptures are classified according to the Five Buddha Families. The Vajrāmṛtatantra is traditionally identified as the quintessential Mother Tantra of the Ratnasaṃbhava (Jewel) family (rin 'byung gi rigs kyi rgyud). Tibetan historical and doxographical sources note that this cycle encompasses specific mandalas, such as the primary twenty-one deity mandala of Vajrāmṛta (rdo rje bdud rtsi), the twenty-nine deity mandala of Amṛtahūṅkāra (bdud rtsi hūṃ mdzad), the twenty-one deity Amṛtakrodha (bdud rtsi khro bo), and the thirteen deity Amṛtakuṇḍalī (bdud rtsi 'khyil pa). The query རྡོ་རྗེ་བདུད་རྩིའི་རྒྱུད refers to the Vajrāmṛtatantra (The Tantra of Vajra Nectar), a significant scripture belonging to the Anuttarayogatantra class of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist canon.

 Textual survivals in Sanskrit—such as fragments preserved in manuscript collections edited in modern scholarship—show that the root tantra opens with the Bhagavān dwelling in the secret lotus of the vajra-nectar heart of body, speech, and mind of all Tathāgatas, sporting with the consort Māmakī. The doctrinal core of the text expounds internal yoga, the consumption and realization of the non-dual nature of the five nectars (pañcāmṛta), the transmutative samādhis of Vajrāmṛtakuṇḍalī, and the attainment of supreme mahāmudrā siddhi. Commentaries preserved in the Tibetan Tengyur include the Vajrāmṛtatantraṭīkā composed by master Guṇabhadra (yon tan bzang po) and translated by the Indian master Smṛtijñānakīrti, as well as the commentary Amṛtasravaṇa (bdud rtsi 'dzag pa) composed by Ācārya Bhago. Textual survivals in Sanskrit—such as fragments preserved in manuscript collections edited in modern scholarship—show that the root tantra opens with the Bhagavān dwelling in the secret lotus of the vajra-nectar heart of body, speech, and mind of all Tathāgatas, sporting with the consort Māmakī.
