The absence of etc. Action is to speak of letters as different names. The punctuation of letters is, as stated in the Sutra Requested by Glorious Giver: "For those with segmented actions, therefore it is known as punctuation." So it is said. Discrimination is to grasp as the body. The deity is the deity of the body, the nature of Vairochana. The meaning is unobstructed means or great compassion. Action is to segment the letters. Here, some who are ignorant of the meaning of the Buddha's words say: These three pervasive letters were not translated from India, because they do not exist in Indian letters. If so, then all the famous teachings, such as the Sutra Requested by Embodied Essence, etc., would also become untranslated from India, because those sutras explain the three pervasive letters. The second part has seven aspects, the first being the letters of the auspicious woman and the five vidyādharas, father and mother: A is unborn, etc., three verses short of a foot. From here, except for the four gates, the rest are explained with the four meanings combined. The letter is A (Tibetan: ཨ, Sanskrit Devanagari: अ, Sanskrit Romanization: a, Literal Chinese meaning: A). Discrimination is grasping phenomena as conditioned and unconditioned. The deity is Samantabhadrī. The meaning is the suchness of unborn. Here, why does A appear at the beginning of everything? Because it is the source or basis of all letters. That is, in the Māyājāla Tantra it says: A is emptiness, empty from the beginning. In emptiness there is no emptiness. It is the basis or root of all letters. For this reason, it is placed at the beginning. So it is said. Similarly, the letter is Ṭha (Tibetan: ཋ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ठ, Sanskrit Romanization: ṭha, Literal Chinese meaning: Ta). Discrimination is the aggregate of consciousness. The deity is Māyāvajrasattva. The meaning is the wisdom of emptiness. The letter is Ṭa (Tibetan: ཊ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ट, Sanskrit Romanization: ṭa, Literal Chinese meaning: Da). Discrimination is the aggregate of form. The deity is Vairochana. The meaning is mirror-like wisdom. The letter is Ḍa (Tibetan: ཌ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ड, Sanskrit Romanization: ḍa, Literal Chinese meaning: Da). Discrimination is the aggregate of feeling. The deity is Wish-fulfilling Gem, i.e., Ratnasambhava. The meaning is equality wisdom. The letter is Ḍha (Tibetan: ཌྷ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ढ, Sanskrit Romanization: ḍha, Literal Chinese meaning: Na). Discrimination is the aggregate of perception. The deity is Light Completely Pure Infinite Light. The meaning is discriminating wisdom. The letter is Ṇa (Tibetan: ཎ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ण, Sanskrit Romanization: ṇa, Literal Chinese meaning: Na). Discrimination is the aggregate of volition. The deity is All-Accomplishing. The meaning is accomplishing activity wisdom. Here, what is the reason for indicating the five fathers with the term "illusion"? The five aggregates appear like an illusion, and although they appear unhindered as clear emptiness, the basis of appearance, the two

The five aggregates being completely pure as self-aware wisdom are the five wisdoms. These transforming into the mudra of means are the five fathers. As it says in the "Stages": "The five aggregates transform into the wisdom of illusion, self-awareness transforms into the five families through means." Thus, the general term 'illusion' should be understood as explained. The seed syllable is THA. The thought is holding onto the element of space. The term 'net' is used as an example of similar qualities, representing the father and mother deities, thus it is a part of wisdom. The deity is the mother Manifest Completion, the wealthy one of the sphere of space. The meaning is the wisdom of emptiness. The seed syllable is TA. The thought is holding onto the solid and stable element of earth. The deity is the mother Buddha Eye. The meaning is the mirror-like wisdom. The seed syllable is DA. The thought is holding onto the element of fire. The deity is the mother, the white-clad one, the fire of superior seeing blazing brightly. The meaning is the wisdom of individual discrimination. The seed syllable is DHA. The thought is holding onto the soft and clinging element of water. The deity is the mother Mamaki. The meaning is the wisdom of equality. The seed syllable is NA. The thought is holding onto the ever-moving and changing element of wind. The deity is the mother Samaya Tara. The meaning is the wisdom of accomplishing activities. So, what is the reason for placing the mothers in a net? For example, a net is interwoven with warp and weft, containing and gathering material objects, the mesh of the net is transparent, and it is clear from any direction one looks. Similarly, the space of the mothers is also interwoven with root-knots, containing and gathering bliss, space is transparent, and it appears clearly from any direction one enters, therefore it is called a net. Furthermore, from the sutra of the Vajra Gyungdrung Khilwa: "The net changes into anything, interwoven with warp and weft and transparent, it appears clearly from any direction one looks, and also contains and gathers." And so forth, it is said. Secondly, the seed syllable of the four inner minds together with the wrathful deity of the eastern gate is KA, which is the five lines beginning with 'eye'. The seed syllable is KA. The thought is the mind of the eye, the consciousness of the eye. The deity is the supreme son of the Buddhas, the bodhisattva Kshitigarbha. The meaning is the mirror-like wisdom. Now, what is the reason for placing consciousness in the mind? From the "Divination Needle": "The four consciousnesses are mind because of being solely self-aware." As it is said, therefore it should be known that everything can be explained as mind.
