Tripurāsiddhā (त्रिपुरासिद्धा) is the name of a deity presiding over the Sarvarogaharacakra which represents one of the nine Āvaraṇa-Cakras of Śrīcakra (the nucleus of Tantric philosophy) which are related to the fifteen-lettered chant called Śrīvidyā, according to Śaṅkarācārya’s Saudaryalaharī.—By the worship on Śrīcakra, the Goddess (whose presence is represented is Śrīcakra) will get awakened. This is the beginning of the spiritual consciousness in man. The nine Cakras in the Śrīcakra are called āvaraṇacakras.—Vasukoṇa is known as the Sarvarogaharacakra. The Vāgdevatās or Rahasyayoginīs who reside here are of Padmarāga colour. The plane is presided over by Tripurāsiddhā.
