Commentary:
[The third category includes the mantras of the male and female spiritual warriors of buddha-speech. (It comments on Ch. 7.5):]
These also comprise two groups, among which the root mantras or seed-syllables of the four male spiritual warriors are respectively MAI, THL莫峁�, H弄峁�, and M弄峁�. 顿贬础搁础峁喣� is (the mantra of Maitreya) who supports sentient beings with loving kindness. 厂痴膧贬膧 means "establish the ground". NIS膧RA峁侭HAYA 厂痴膧贬膧 is (the mantra of Niv膩ra峁嘺vi峁ambhin) who dispels obscurations which are dense or hard to purify. SAR膧JAYA 厂痴膧贬膧 is (the mantra of Samantabhadra), the all-positive king whose nature does not abide in the duality of 蝉补峁僺腻谤补 and 苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺; and 艢R莫 膧峁� R膧G膧YA 厂痴膧贬膧 is (the mantra of 惭补帽箩耻艣谤墨), the glorious one who is devoted to sentient beings without abiding in duality.
The root mantras or seed-syllables of their four female spiritual warriors are respectively JA岣�, H弄峁�, VA峁�, and HO岣�. DH弄PE 笔搁础痴贰艢膧 is (the mantra of 顿丑奴辫腻), the fragrance of moral discipline which penetrates the mental continuum of those to be trained. PU峁E 膧VE艢膧 is (the mantra of 笔耻峁腻), the extensive cascade of the flowers of enlightenment into the mental continuum of those to be trained. 顿莫笔础 SUKHIN莫 is (the mantra of 膧lok膩) who dispels the darkness of ignorance by the lamp of pristine cognition: and GANDHE CITTA HO岣� is (the mantra of 骋补苍诲丑腻) who satisfies the mental continuum of those to be trained by her stream of nectar.
[The fourth category includes the mantras of the male and female gatekeepers (commenting on Ch. 7.6):]
