Mahāmāyūrī (also Māyūrī, q.v.), n. of a work (our Māy) and of the charms it contains: Mmk 〔109.28〕
Waldschmidt, Kl. Skt. Texte 4, 〔152 ff.〕
Lévi, JA 1915. 〔19 ff.〕
personified, Mmk 〔312.6〕
Sādh 〔177.11〕 etc.
〔402.4〕
seemingly regarded as a rakṣā, q.v., in Sādh (cf. BR 〔5.648〕 s.v. mahārakṣā), where this form replaces Mārīcī of the list in Dharmas 〔5〕 (but BRʼs reference to ‘Vjutp.’, i.e. Mvy, is a mystery to me, since I have been unable to find this list in either of the edd. of Mvy accessible to me)
in MSV 〔i.286.15 ff.〕 applied to a short charm to cure snakebite.
