“When [this mantra] is employed along with the previously described mudrā, it will accomplish all activities. Just as before, when this mantra is accomplished, the whole family is accomplished.

“So also [is the case with] the mantras of Samantabhadra, Mahā­sthāna­prāpta,²⁴¹⁰ and Vimalagati, which are, [respectively:]

“Oṁ, son of the victors! The same and not the same! Do not delay! Hūṁ phaṭ!; ²⁴¹¹

“Remain, remain in the exalted place! Having attained awakening, remember your samaya! Hūṁ, phaṭ phaṭ, svāhā!;²⁴¹²

“and

“ Oṁ, stainless, stainless! With stainless form! Burn, burn! Remember your samaya, svāhā! ²⁴¹³

“The mantra of Gaganagañja can accomplish all activities if employed with the mudrā of any bodhisattva.²⁴¹⁴ This applies also to all the innumerable great bodhisattvas who have attained the tenth bodhisattva level, starting with Apāyajaha, Sadāprarudita, Kṣitigarbha, Ratnapāṇi, and Maitreya. Their mudrās and mantras are, likewise, innumerable. They ought to be employed [as instructed] in this king of manuals.

“The detailed section on all the mantras and mudrās covers a vast range of the worldly ones and the different levels of the supramundane. All the rites and their variants taught in this [manual] entail a samaya of the great assembly and require accomplishing all the relevant mantras.²⁴¹⁵

“These mudrās and mantras should thus be employed according to their family association, whether the Jewel, the Yakṣa, the Celestial, or the Noble family. However, all these mantras and mudrās in all the tantras in the three times constitute but one family, which is none other than the Tathāgata family. And you too, Mañjuśrī, divine youth, may be regarded as belonging to the Tathāgata family.

“You should remember, Mañjuśrī, that all the buddhas, bodhisattvas, noble śrāvakas, and pratyeka­buddhas; all the worldly and supramundane mantra [deities],²⁴¹⁶ whether subject to karmic influences or not; and all the different mudrās—all of them belong to the families²⁴¹⁷ of the tathāgatas.
