Commentary:

[The third group includes a prayer for accomplishment (commenting on Ch. 7.11):]

The expression °¿á¹� King of pristine cognition (°¿á¹� ye-shes rgyal-po) is an appeal to the Transcendent Lord. He is equipoised now in (da-nyid-du mnyam-sbyor-bas) the accomplishment of most wondrous (rmad-po-che) Buddha-body, speech, mind, attributes and activities (sku-gsung-thugs yon-tan 'phrin-las) of all the ³Ù²¹³Ù³óÄå²µ²¹³Ù²¹²õ. Thus, may I unite (bdag sbyor-cig) at the present time with the Great Seal (phyag-rgya chen-po) of the deitiesâ€� body, speech and mind. °¿á¹� VAJRA SAMAYA HŪá¹� timely summons the commitments of Buddha-body. °¿á¹� VAJRA SAMAYAS°Õ³Õ´¡á¹� summons the commitments of Buddha-speech; and °¿á¹� VAJRA SAMAYA HOá¸� summons the commitments of Buddha-mind. JAá¸� HŪá¹� VAá¹� HOá¸� bring about fusion and stability in the non-dual nature.
