ī dwells on the earth. Dzā (ཛཱ་) is the means of practice that purifies the two extremes, possessing wisdom. Bha (བྷ་) is the very utterance of great bliss. Sva (སྭ་) is the very peace of going, coming, and abiding. Mi (མི་) is the enjoyment of wisdom, where the crocodiles, fish, and devourers that frolic in the ocean abiding in the vajra body are purified. Bhya (བྷྱ་) means to ripen the essence of nectar in the body. Pho (ཕོ་) is the supreme, undiminishing drink, which is the very sky. Gha (གྷ་) is the purification of dualistic grasping through practice. Ka (ཀ་) means to purify forms and other objects of desire. Sa (ས་) is the wisdom that is not subject to the power of other lineages. ༄. Ra (ར་) means self-protection, the independent heroine. Du (དུ་) is smriti dhun (སྨྲི་ཏི་དུན་), which is obtaining the dharani of unfailing memory. Su (སུ་) is the innate, non-conceptual great bliss. Na (ན་) is the purification of the aspect of conceptualization in its own place. Sa (ས་) is that which has not changed since the beginning. Ma (མ་) is Mānu (མཱ་ནུ་), the fierce woman who liberates sentient beings. A (ཨ་) is unobstructed wisdom. Na (ན་) is emptiness, the absence of future birth. So (སོ་) is the very purity of using desirable qualities as the path. Bhairava (བྷའི་ར་) is the fearless hero, the yogi, the worldly woman, the ḍākinī abiding in samaya, like swans gathering on a lake. Da (ད་) is the concise summary of the text. These are the symbols of each letter, to be understood merely as representations. Do not give to those who lack faith; this is secrecy for those of lesser capacity. The supreme of samaya is empowerment for those who are of one mind; for those who have faith, examine their minds well and secretly bestow the vajra vehicle. The chapter on the ritual of symbols is secret and the essence of the stages; the explanation of the fifteenth chapter is complete. Fifteenth Chapter: Explanation of the Ritual of Symbols.
