伞的前后左右悬挂着四条彩带,其中两条悬挂着两个铜铃,这是正直意义的象征;两条彩带上系着两个金刚铃,这是方便与智慧的象征。门上的九种装饰是:下面是降伏烦恼,用大象来象征降伏愚痴和象征十力;用狮子来象征降伏嗔恨和象征四无畏;用天鹅来象征降伏贪欲和象征四无量。中间是分别各种业,鹿因为具有慈悲心而不作恶业而游动;小狗因为具有忍耐力而守护善恶,衡量好坏并加以判断。上面是不舍弃痛苦而接受痛苦,为了烦恼显现为智慧,所以用龙;因为知道用慈悲心摄持而不浪费,所以用水兽;因为见解显现为法性之加持,所以像琼鸟从龙王那里夺取一样。外面的装饰是:为了象征从一开始就不离平等性,根本不生烦恼,所以用砍了头的八根或十六根塔拉树。按照口诀来说,因为是三十二空行母的坐垫,所以说是三十二根。为了象征如意满足所化众生的愿望,所以如意树用珍宝装饰,并用风铃装饰,数量与塔拉树相同。这些之间有珍宝瓦片和沐浴池,数量也与塔拉树和如意树相同。为了象征掌管轮回的一切法,所以在塔拉树的后面,在金色的地面上,是蓝色的草地,其中在白色莲花池的上面,是听法的信徒眷属,以及世间的大神等护法神的坐垫。为了象征唯有自证智慧显现,不像内外那样,而是全部都变成内部。下面的基础是:为了象征法界智慧远离戏论,所以中心是圆形的。为了象征其显现为四种智慧,所以有四个轮辐。为了象征显现四种智慧时,没有离开法界智慧,所以用金刚环绕。它本身是寂静的,朝向一方。

The umbrella has four hanging ribbons in the front, back, left, and right. Two of them have two ghaṇṭas hanging, which symbolize the direct meaning. Two ribbons have two vajra-ghantas attached, which symbolize skillful means and wisdom. The nine decorations of the doorway are: Below, to subdue afflictions, an elephant symbolizes subduing ignorance and representing the ten powers; a lion symbolizes subduing hatred and representing the four fearlessnesses; a swan symbolizes subduing desire and representing the four immeasurables. In the middle, to distinguish various actions, a deer, possessing compassion, does not commit evil deeds and thus wanders; a small dog, possessing patience, guards virtue and vice, weighing good and bad, and judging them. Above, not abandoning suffering but accepting it, a dragon is used because afflictions arise as wisdom; a water monster is used because it knows how to hold with compassion and does not waste; a garuda is used because the blessing of the view arising as the nature of reality is like a garuda seizing from a dragon king. The outer decorations are: As a symbol of not straying from equality from the beginning, and not giving rise to afflictions at all, eight or sixteen tala trees with their heads cut off are used. According to the oral instructions, it is said that there are thirty-two because it is the seat of the thirty-two dakinis. As a symbol of fulfilling the hopes of those to be tamed as they are thought of in the mind, a wish-fulfilling tree is adorned with precious ornaments and decorated with tinkling bells, the number of which is equal to the number of tala trees. Between these are precious tiles and bathing ponds, also with the same number as the tala trees and wish-fulfilling trees. As a symbol of controlling all the phenomena of samsara, behind the tala trees, on a golden ground, is a field of blue neusing grass. Within it, above a garden of white lotus flowers, are the faithful listeners and the seats of the great worldly gods and other glorious protectors. As a symbol of only self-aware wisdom appearing, it is not like inside and outside, but everything becomes inside. The base below is: As a symbol of the dharmadhatu wisdom being free from elaboration, the center is round. As a symbol of it appearing as the four wisdoms, there are four spokes. As a symbol that when the four wisdoms appear, they do not move from the dharmadhatu wisdom, it is surrounded by a vajra enclosure. It itself is peaceful, leaning towards one direction.

The first, to symbolize the continuous turning of the wheel of Dharma, the lower seat is a four-spoked wheel. The second, the seat of respectful aspiration is: Bodhisattvas in remote lands transform into lions and so on by the power of aspiration, offering their bodies as seats, thereby purifying the afflictive obscurations. It is said that listening to the Dharma with the ears can purify the cognitive obscurations. The third, the seat for destroying the accumulation of sins with merit is: to symbolize the non-inherent nature of wisdom, it is the sun. To symbolize that the method never stops, it is the moon.

Wrathful deities have a single sun, peaceful deities have a single lotus. Samantabhadra and consort are stacked four times. Although it is said so, in the "Eye Commentary" it is said: the doorkeeper is stacked with two layers of sun and lotus. When Samantabhadra and consort are placed on the mandala, they are stacked three times, and when teaching the Dharma, they are stacked five times. Above the seat is the moon.

原因在于,虽然秘密心髓的注释很多,但这里的注释《现观》中说,寂静本尊都在月亮之上,忿怒本尊都在太阳之上。还说,用珍珠网覆盖的宝座是圣者的面容。在生起所依时,下面的五大也都是五种智慧,内部的座轮也是五种智慧,堆砌的也是五种智慧,堆砌的后面所持的五种法器也是五种智慧,如果问是否重复了,那是不重复的。坛城需要具备基、道、果,本尊需要具备三座,因此,下面的五大之五种智慧是基之五种智慧,座轮所象征的五种智慧是道,堆砌及其所持的法器是果之智慧。其中,堆砌的智慧是自利所象征的五种智慧,法器的智慧是为利他而显现的五种智慧。本尊具备三座是指,中央是五佛部的座,中间是菩萨眷属的座,门口是忿怒尊的座。现在是所依本尊生起的奇妙之处:从白色阿字生起蓝色吽字。从阿字和吽字的差别中,就像女尸和石头相遇一样,生起四十二个字母,落在各自的座上。父亲们的字母是象征无碍方便的颠倒字,母亲们的字母是象征不变法界的正立字。念诵完语字咒后,进行圆满:光芒四射,供养逝者的语。众生语的共同障碍有四种,特别清净对所观察之法的执着障碍。再次收摄,完全变化,成为四十二种法器。然后如仪轨般观想心间法器,完毕后,光芒四射,供养逝者的心。众生意的共同障碍有三种,特别清净对人我的执着障碍。收摄后完全变化,成为四十二种微细。其中,身体的微细变化为四十二种颜色。光芒四射,供养逝者的身。众生身的共同障碍有三种,特别
