It is not like that. It is necessary to record the pronunciation as letters. Therefore, these are also included in the category of the letter Tsa. These can be analogized to other letters. For example, Zha (ཞ) is considered the same as Sha (ཤ), and Za (ཟ) is considered the same as Sa (ས). Because the pronunciation is similar, it also appears to be similar to Dza (ཛ). 'A (འ) should be the same as A (ཨ). The reason why ancient Tibetan writers added 'A to long vowels is also this. Similarly, Mkha' (མཁའ་) corresponds to Kha (ཁ), Mnga' (མངའ་) corresponds to Nga (ང), 'Tsha (འཚ་) corresponds to Tsha (ཚ), Mtha' (མཐའ་) corresponds to Tha (ཐ), 'Pha (འཕ་) corresponds to Pha (ཕ), Dma' (དམའ་) corresponds to Ma (མ), Lha (ལྷ་) corresponds to La (ལ), Bsha (བཤ་) corresponds to Sha (ཤ), and Bsa' (བསའ་) corresponds to Sa (ས). Through these, one can make analogies, and those not explained can also be inferred. Therefore, these enemy-friend relationships of letters are calculated according to Chinese phonology. In Tibetan, it is very important to value the function of letters that are essentially different. Moreover, letters should not only be considered in terms of their shape, but should be calculated from the perspective of pronunciation. So, are these applicable to all mantra recitations? Not necessarily. Because of the differences in the minds of sentient beings, only what is blessed by the mantra practitioner can generate that power. Therefore, this is very important for this tantra and its followers. For other Anuttarayoga tantras, calculating in this way can be a helpful auxiliary means, but it is not essential. In the lower tantras, these are mostly unnecessary. The reason is that in this tantra, {མི་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)[ནི(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)]འབྱུང་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)བའི་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཁམས་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཀྱི་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)རིམ་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)པ་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཉིད་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)འཁོར་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)འདས་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)བརྟན་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)གཡོ་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཀུན་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)གྱི་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)སྲོག་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཏུ་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)བཞག་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)པའི་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)རྒྱུ་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)མཚན་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)གྱིས་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ཡིན་(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)ལ།(Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning)} the earth element is regarded as the root cause of samsara and nirvana, stability and change. Although there are cases in other Anuttarayoga tantras where the five elements are regarded as the life force, they are not emphasized as much as in this tantra. Moreover, in the lower tantras, such purification is not explicitly stated and such combinations are not made. In the mantra tantras of outsiders, the enemy-friend relationships of the elements of letters are calculated for the lineages of caste holders and dakinis, but it is not necessary to calculate them for hermits, spirits, and the causes of confusion. Some masters and panditas say this. The root tantra quoted above says: "The practitioner's letters are two, born from the place of birth, named born change." This means that the practitioner's letters are of two types: the letters of the place of birth and the letters of the name. The latter has already been explained, the birth
