19.11

'Secret Lord! Gradually enter each and every one of these samādhi gateways. The Secret Lord contemplates this, up to the thirty-two marks of a great person, all of which are born from within this. Ṅa, ña, ṇa, na, ma, and so forth, operate with sovereignty over all dharmas. These manifest accordingly, and the minor marks of a samyaksaṃbuddha are accomplished. And these minor marks of a samyaksaṃbuddha, Secret Lord, as one gradually enters and sees each samādhi gateway, Secret Lord, up to the thirty-two marks of a great person, are all born from within this'—this is the text of the sūtra. In these individual syllables, there are thirty-two samādhi gateways. Because these thirty-two gateways mutually enter one another, they can accomplish the thirty-two marks. That is, the twenty syllables beginning with Ka above, the eight syllables beginning with Ya and Ra, together with these four syllables, make thirty-two in total. The samādhi within each syllable possesses the thirty-two marks. Next: 'The five syllables ṅa, ña, ṇa, na, and ma operate with sovereignty among all dharmas. As these manifest accordingly, the minor marks of a fully enlightened one are accomplished'—this is the text of the sūtra. These five syllables pervade both concentration and wisdom; they can accomplish samādhi, and they can accomplish wisdom, pervasively accomplishing the eighty minor marks of the Tathāgata. Therefore, practitioners of mantra practice should understand the meanings of these syllables. If these syllables occur in a mantra, matching them according to their meanings, one understands the intent. Clarifying the matter is like this. Because such meanings are illuminated, one knows that this mantra has such virtuous powers and functions. Here there is a verse: 'From the bodhisattvas of the mantra gateway, Secret Lord, / Up to the samayas born from the hundred syllables'—this text belongs elsewhere and should not be inserted here; the root text is in error. It also explains that these Buddhas extensively make up myself, and one also comes to accomplish all Buddhas, the Honoured Ones among humans. As stated above, the thirty-two marks and eighty minor marks, all causes of accomplishing Buddhahood and all virtues, are accomplished through this extensive practice; all Buddhas through this practice become the Honoured Ones among gods and humans. If a practitioner practices thus, he also becomes an Honoured One among humans. The above concludes the Chapter on the Accomplishment of Recitation of the Hundred Syllables.
