To the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 which is at hand?

Commentary:
[The second section concerns the beneficial attributes (of this presentation, commenting on Ch. 9.19):]
If offerings are made (mchod-na) of the five (lngas) kinds of desired raptures (longs-spyod) to the master of indestructible reality who is a mighty lord (dbang-phyug) of yoga, offerings are made to all 尘补峁囜笉补濒补蝉 (dkyil-'khor thams-cad mchod-pa yin) of the Buddhas of the ten directions and four times. If so, it goes without saying that (smos-ci dgos) offerings are made to the meditational deities in the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 which is at hand (nye-pa'i dkyil-'khor)!
The Tantra of the Array of Commitments (dam-tshig rnam-par bkod-pa'i rgyud) says:
If offerings are made to the guru or holder of indestructible reality.
Offerings are made to all 尘补峁囜笉补濒补蝉.
It goes without saying that (offerings are made) to the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 at hand!
When defects have ceased, supreme accomplishment will be obtained.
So it is that all defects (nyes-pa thams-cad) of the commitments and vows are exclusively purified (dag-par 'gyur).
[Secondly, there are the actual empowerments connected with the degree of (the student's) intelligence. (This comments on Ch. 9.20):]
