Chapter 1

Paragraph 1

This is the royal command of the Lord, the divine Buddha, this great instruction must be heeded, listen to all the mantras. Lord Buddha was in the great dissolution (mahāpralaya), his body came into being, he then became the Lord Pañcatathāgata. Their bodies and names are distinct, each has a counterpart in form. His mudrā is the bodhyagrī, his jñāna is śāśvata, his implement is the cakra. Sahāvatī is the name of his dominion, a lion is his mount. She, Lady Sattvavajrī, she, Lady Dharmavajrī, she, Lady Karmavajrī, they are the devīs accompanying him. Now, as for his residence in the body, the inside of the heart is his abode.
