If they rely on \[this\] ritual teaching, bodhisattvas cultivating bodhisattva practices via the gateway of mantras should know that they themselves will dwell in the form of their own deity, firm and unmoving, and after having known \[the state of\] their own deity, they will abide in the manner of their own deity and obtain siddhi. “What are the eight seals? With the right and left hands form the hollow hand-clasp and spread the little fingers and forefingers apart as if to radiate blazing light. This is the seal ‘birth of the World-honored One’s great majesty.’ Its maṇḍala is triangular and has rays of light. The mantra is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, raṃ raḥ svāhā. (Homage to all Buddhas! Raṃ raḥ! svāhā!) \[248\] “Then with this \[same\] seal, bend the forefingers \[down\] on top of the thumbs like the shape of the \[Sanskrit\] letter Va.

This is the seal ‘birth from all the Tathāgata’s limbs.’ Its maṇḍala is in shape like a kalaśa, \[round like\] a full moon, and is surrounded by vajras.
