Because they also appear as various forms such as mandalas. Letters appear as the wheels of body, speech, and mind, and since they are inseparable from the perspective of self-awareness, they are called great. Body, speech, and mind are wondrous, capable of attracting the great and extraordinary manifestations. Therefore, the letters, body, speech, and mind arise as the wisdom of self-awareness, so they are wondrous, and the reason for that is so amazing. The great manifestation of the forty-five letters, together with the resultant body, speech, and mind, shows the forty-two bodies and wisdoms in the manifestation of self-awareness, so it attracts. Or, various miraculous accomplishments are attracted by the great manifestation of letters. Fourth, explaining the definition of letters: Written in the realm of reality by the realm of reality, therefore it is called a letter. So, how does the nature of the letter itself appear? In the realm of the ground of equality, it is revealed by the realm of the equality of wisdom, so it is written, and for that reason, it is said that the letter is the definition. If understood from the sound of the Sanskrit word (藏文：ཨ་ཀྵ་ར་，梵文天城体：अक्षर，梵文罗马拟音：akṣara，汉语字面意思：不朽), the letter refers to the unborn nature of reality, the unchanging dharma, which is the name of the meaning. The second general meaning, explaining the specific meaning of letters, has three parts: explaining the meaning of the three pervasive letters, explaining the meaning of the forty-two letters, and the conclusion or showing the greatness of the letters. First, explaining the meaning of the three pervasive letters: The beginning is... cutting off the sentences. It is there, and these, together with the letters of the four fathers of the gatekeepers to be explained below, will be explained by combining the letters with thought, deity, meaning, and action. That is, the beginning is the unerring path. Therefore, in the letter "na" is the beginning, and there are two aspects to this. First, the beginning and the first of guiding the letters is Berka Ri, as it says in the Sutra Requested by Glorious Gift: The beginning is the symbol of the first, whatever arises as form in the first, that is the beginning of the letter, therefore Berka Ri is called the beginning. And in the Divination Sutra it says: Because the letter guides the beginning like a snake. So it is said. Second, the beginning on which the letter depends is the dot, as it says in the Sutra Requested by Embodied Essence: The beginning of the letter is the dot, therefore the forty-two letters, the unerring and sacred

执持未造之法。 佛是普贤佛母。 意义是无生之如是性。 有些人问，阿字为什么是一切的开端？ 因为它是一切字母的来源或基础。 如《幻化续》云：“阿是空性本初空，空性之中无空性，是一切字母之基或因，故立于首。” 吒是幻化金刚。 字母吒， 念头是识蕴。 佛是幻化金刚，代表佛父，是方便之分，薄伽梵吉祥金刚萨埵。 意义是空性之智慧。 吒是显现之幻化。 字母吒， 念头是色蕴。 佛是显现之幻化，代表毗卢遮那佛。 意义是如镜之智慧。 拏是幻化智慧。 字母拏， 念头是受蕴。 佛是幻化如意，代表宝生佛。 意义是平等性之智慧。 拏是幻化清净。 字母拏， 念头是想蕴。 佛是幻化清净，代表无量光佛。 意义是妙观察智。 拏是周遍幻化。 字母拏， 念头是行蕴。 佛是周遍幻化，代表不空成就佛。 意义是成所作智。 那么，一般幻化代表佛母， 幻变代表佛父， 蛛网代表佛父佛母无别， 为什么这里把幻化安立为佛父呢？ 五蕴如幻，以自证觉悟之方便，以五智慧代表，显现为五部，故名为幻变。 如《黑汝嘎集续》云：“识等五蕴即坛城，如幻之蕴以自证方便幻化为五部。” 又如《幻化支分》云：“五蕴幻化之智慧，以自证方便幻化为五部。” 吒是以蛛网现证圆满。 字母吒， 念头是生

Holding to the uncreated dharma. The deity is Samantabhadri. The meaning is the suchness of no birth. Some ask, why is 'A' the beginning of everything? Because it is the source or basis of all letters. As the Mayajala Tantra says, "'A' is emptiness, primordially empty. In emptiness, there is no emptiness. It is the base or cause of all letters, therefore it is placed at the beginning." Tha is the illusionary Vajra itself. Thus, the letter is Ṭa. The concept is the aggregate of consciousness. The deity is the illusionary Vajra, representing the father deity, the aspect of skillful means, the Bhagavan glorious Vajrasattva. The meaning is the wisdom of emptiness itself. Ṭa is illusion by appearance itself. Thus, the letter is Ṭa. The concept is the aggregate of form. The deity is the illusion of appearance, representing Vairochana. The meaning is mirror-like wisdom itself. Ḍa is illusionary wisdom itself. Thus, the letter is Ḍa. The concept is the aggregate of feeling. The deity is illusionary wish-fulfilling, representing Ratnasambhava. The meaning is the wisdom of equality itself. Ṇa is illusionary purity itself. Thus, the letter is Ṇa. The concept is the aggregate of perception. The deity is illusionary purity, representing Amitabha. The meaning is the wisdom of discriminating awareness itself. Ṇa is all-pervading illusion itself. Thus, the letter is Ṇa. The concept is the aggregate of volition. The deity is all-pervading illusion, representing Amoghasiddhi. The meaning is the wisdom of accomplishing activities itself. Now, generally, the illusion is represented by the mother deity, the transformation is represented by the father deity, and the web is represented by the non-duality of the father and mother deities. Why is illusion attributed to the father deity here? The five aggregates are like illusions, and by the method of self-awareness, they are represented as the five wisdoms, appearing as the five families, which are called transformation. As it is said in the Hevajra Tantra, "The five aggregates, such as consciousness, are the mandala itself. In the aggregates that are like illusions, by the method of self-awareness, they transform into the five families." And also in the Mayajala Tantra, "In the wisdom of the five aggregates of illusion, by the method of self-awareness, they transform into the five families." Tha is the complete realization through the web. Thus, the letter is Tha. The concept is the arising

如同天空般持有。以“网”作为相似的例子来象征佛母，因此是智慧的一部分。所谓“现证”，神是佛母，是天空法界的主宰，意义是空性的智慧。所谓“ཏ་（Ta）是网中坚固”，字是ཏ་（Ta），分别念是执持地大，神是网中坚固，指佛母佛眼佛母，意义是如镜般的智慧。所谓“ད་（Da）是网中闪耀”，字是ད་（Da），分别念是执持火大，神是网中闪耀，指佛母白衣母，智慧是各别自证的智慧。所谓“དྷ་（Dha）是网中缠绕”，字是དྷ་（Dha），分别念是执持水大，神是网中缠绕，指佛母嘛嘛ཀཱི（Mamaki），意义是平等性智。所谓“ན་（Na）是网中周遍”，字是ན་（Na），分别念是执持风大，神是网中周遍，指佛母誓言度母，意义是成所作智。那么，将佛母安立为网的原因是什么呢？例如，网是经线纬线相互连接，容纳和收集物质的物体，网是空旷通透的，无论从哪里看都清晰可见，同样，佛母的虚空也与根脉经线相互连接，容纳和收集安乐，虚空空旷通透，无论从哪里进入都清晰显现，因此称为网。正如《金刚妙旋经》中所说：“网可以变成任何东西，经线纬线相互连接且空旷通透，无论从哪里看都清晰显现，像收集和容纳一切一样，同样，佛母的虚空法界也，经线纬线相互连接且空旷通透，无论从哪里进入都清晰显现，为了收集和容纳一切，因此，佛母被称为网。”如是说。第二，宣说内在四菩萨及东方门神的字：ཀ་（Ka）是眼等，是破坏者。那里有说到：ཀ་（Ka）是眼的意之最胜。所谓字是ཀ་（Ka），分别念是眼的意，即眼识的分别念，神是诸佛之子中最殊胜的菩萨地藏菩萨，意义是如镜般的智慧。那么，

Like holding the sky. Taking "net" as a similar example to symbolize the divine mother, hence it is a part of wisdom. As for "manifest realization," the deity is the divine mother, the sovereign of the sky realm, and the meaning is the wisdom of emptiness itself. As for "Ta is firm in the net," the letter is Ta, the conceptualization is holding the earth element, the deity is firm in the net, referring to the divine mother Buddha Eye Buddha Mother, and the meaning is mirror-like wisdom. As for "Da is shining in the net," the letter is Da, the conceptualization is holding the fire element, the deity is shining in the net, referring to the divine mother White-Clad Mother, and the wisdom is the wisdom of individual self-awareness. As for "Dha is entwined in the net," the letter is Dha, the conceptualization is holding the water element, the deity is entwined in the net, referring to the divine mother Mamaki, and the meaning is equality wisdom. As for "Na is all-pervading in the net," the letter is Na, the conceptualization is holding the wind element, the deity is all-pervading in the net, referring to the divine mother Samaya Tara, and the meaning is accomplishing activity wisdom. So, what is the reason for establishing the divine mother as a net? For example, a net is connected by warp and weft threads, it contains and collects material objects, the net is open and transparent, and it is clear from wherever you look. Similarly, the space of the divine mother is also connected to the root veins, contains and collects bliss, the space is open and transparent, and it appears clearly from wherever you enter, therefore it is called a net. As it says in the Vajra Swirling Sutra: "The net can become anything, the warp and weft threads are connected and open and transparent, it appears clearly from wherever you look, like collecting and containing everything, similarly, the space realm of the divine mother is also, the warp and weft threads are connected and open and transparent, it appears clearly from wherever you enter, in order to collect and contain everything, therefore, the divine mother is called a net." Thus it is said. Second, the explanation of the letters of the four inner bodhisattvas and the eastern gatekeeper: Ka is the eye, etc., is the destroyer. It is said there: Ka is the best of the eye's mind. The letter is Ka, the conceptualization is the eye's mind, that is, the conceptualization of eye consciousness, the deity is the most excellent son of the Buddhas, the bodhisattva Kshitigarbha, and the meaning is mirror-like wisdom. So,

如果问，为什么要在“识”上用心呢？因为在《触针》中说：“四种识仅仅是自证的缘故，所以用心。”因此，四种识是自证的缘故，所以用心。同样地，“喀是耳之心的殊胜。”意思是，字母是喀，念头是耳之心，也就是鼻识的念头。神是胜者之子，殊胜的持金刚。意义是平等性智。“嘎是鼻之心的殊胜。”意思是，字母是嘎，念头是鼻之心，也就是鼻识的念头。神是胜者之子，殊胜的虚空藏。意义是妙观察智。“噶是舌之心的殊胜。”意思是，字母是噶，念头是拉是舌之心，也就是舌识的念头。神是胜者之子，殊胜的观世音。意义是成所作智。“额也是心的毁灭者。”意思是，字母是额，念头是秘密识。神是阎罗的死神。意义是如镜智。作用是：“心也是毁灭者。”意思是，在体验秘密识之界的乐受时，将眼等外识的四种念头执为我的念头会毁灭且不复存在。第三，指示内在的四位心母和南方门卫的字母是：“擦是眼等的毁灭者。”那里有这样的说法。“擦是眼之身的殊胜。”意思是，字母是擦，念头是眼之身，也就是将眼根的对境，色蕴执为生处的念头。神是至尊天女拉西耶玛。意义是如镜智。那么，如果问，为什么将对境视为身呢？因为是四种识的所依，所以也是身。在《触针》中说：“四境是识所依赖的缘故，与身不相违。”并且，识是所缘的对境，所以也是身。在《幻化金刚》中说：“四识的所缘境，是所见之物等，因为是所缘的缘故，是身的殊胜。”“嚓是耳之身的殊胜。”意思是，字母是嚓，念头是耳之身，也就是耳
