As is stated in the Svasaṃvedana-sūtra: Just as the heavenly Māra Pāpīyān is sovereign and superior to Maheśvara in physical form, strength, lifespan, retinue, and implements, so too is the greatly powerful stage of incomparable arising: coarse and subtle, before and after, are without before or after, arising and growing at one time. As for the innate stage, what are its characteristics according to the distinct meanings of the characters?
