6.21
The mantra world-savior, which accomplishes great potency.
It is the Perfectly Awakened One, sovereign over dharmas, and
the Muni;
It destroys the darkness of ignorance and appears everywhere like
the sun’s orb.
It is my own essence, empowered by the Great Muni,
And its responsive transformations perform miracles in order to
benefit beings
And cause everything to arise in accordance with one’s wishes,
All of which is able to produce the unsurpassed state of miracles.
Therefore one should in every way purify the body, dissociate
oneself from sullies,
Always strive in accordance with reason, and aspire to the Buddha’s
bodhi.”

Thereupon the World-honored One Vairocana addressed the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries, saying, “Lord of Mysteries, if one enters the stage of initiation into the great knowledge of the Great Awakened World-honored One, one will see oneself dwelling in the state of the three samayas. Lord of Mysteries, when one enters initiation into the Bhagavān’s great knowledge, then one will manifest buddha deeds in the form of dhāraṇīs. Then the Great Awakened World-honored One dwells conformingly in front of all beings, performing buddha deeds and expounding the state of the three samayas.”
The Buddha said, “Lord of Mysteries, observe the sphere of my circle of speech, which is a gateway to purity that is vast and extends throughout immeasurable world-systems, a gateway that in accordance with their own nature expresses the Dharma realm as is appropriate [for different kinds of beings], and causes all beings to all obtain joy. Again, it is like the present World-honored One Śākyamuni, who pervades inexhaustible realms of empty space and diligently performs buddha deeds in [many] lands. [Yet,] Lord of Mysteries, sentient beings do not realize that from this attribute of the circle of speech of the World-honored One there flow forth wondrous sounds of the Perfectly Awakened One, like decorative strings of jewels, and that images of the Buddha, born from the matrix [of the letter Aṃ], generate joy in accordance with the inclinations of beings.
“Then the World-honored One, in the gateway to the sea of immeasurable world-systems, pervades the Dharma realm, earnestly encourages the accomplishment of bodhi, and produces the bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s vow of practice. In this world-system, its ground spread with wondrous flowers and adorned with a matrix, in its sea of species, [the bodhisattva] receives birth, purifies buddha fields with various gateways pure by nature, manifests
the place of bodhi, and abides in buddha deeds. Then, he seeks after the state
of samyaksaṃbodhi, and because he knows that the mind is immeasurable,
he knows that the body is immeasurable; because he knows that the body is
immeasurable, he knows that knowledge is immeasurable; because he knows
that knowledge is immeasurable, he knows that beings are immeasurable;
and because he knows that beings are immeasurable, he knows that the realm
