Therefore, it is said, "Hair knot, holding a Munja crown, possessing five faces and five heaps," etc. Other deities are adorned with the nature of jeweled crowns, etc., and it will be explained how to adorn that from which they arise. Therefore, by adorning what with what, it becomes the essence of that. It is also said, "The fruit adorns the cause, and the cause adorns the fruit. The relationship between cause and fruit cannot be found if analyzed separately. Those who fully know cause and fruit, therefore, listen to the explanation of that." etc. Why adorn? Because it is taken as an ornament, pleasing to the mind with beauty for all lineages of the mundane and supramundane, and through the gate of determining the lineage, the practitioner is close to accomplishment.
