Sutra or Tantra Sources for Consorts of the 8 Bodhisattvas/Buddhas

Post by ThreeVows »

I'm wondering if anyone can point me towards Sutra or Tantra references of the 5 female Buddhas (http://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?titl ... le_buddhas) and/or the offering goddesses/bodhisattva consorts (http://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?titl ... _goddesses). I'm aware, for example, that they are briefly mentioned in the Guhyagarbha tantra, but I'm looking for a bit more.

Thanks for any input.
