With these (zhes brjod-pas) words, the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补蝉 (dkyil-'khor de-dag-gis) of the secret mantras of Buddha-speech (gsung-gi) resounded pervasively (khyab-par grags-so) with the great sound of mantra in all the ten directions of the six world-systems ('jig-rten drug-gi phyogs-bcu thams-cad-du). They further resounded (rab-tu grags-so) by conferring maturation on all the minds of sentient beings; and they absolutely resounded (kun-tu grags-so) by conferring liberation on them.
