[Guhyagarbha-Tantra, Text section 11.8]
In the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of the lotus of the female consort.
The 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of blissful Buddha-mind is emanated.
And through the offerings of supreme joy and equanimity.
Made to all 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s of Buddhas, without exception,
(The deities) dissolve. [8][Tibetan]

Commentary:
[Concerning the essence of sexual union:]
Then, the receptacle of non-dual "enlightened mind鈥� (the seminal fluid), the size of a mustard seed, is visualised in the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of the lotus of the female consort (yum-gyi padma'i dkyil-'khor-du); and the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of (-kyi dkyil-'khor) natural supremely blissful (bde-ba) buddha-mind (thugs) adorned with clusters of buddhas is emanated (spro) and visually created. The beings of pristine cognition are invited from the expanse and dissolve therein, whereupon the offering of this displayed (fluid) is made to all 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s [/cloud-masses] of the Buddhas without exception (sangs-rgyas-kyi dkyil-'khor [/sprin-tshogs] ma-lus-pa) who are present. Consequently, through the (-pas) great offerings of supreme joy and equanimity (dgyes-mnyam mchog-gi sbyin), the deities who have been invited and all the deities of the naturally present 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 located in the centres of one's own body respectively dissolve (bstim). By virtue of making these offerings in a satisfactory manner, the accomplishment of non-dual supreme bliss is visualised to be obtained, and the "enlightened mind" (seminal fluid) is concentrated in the lotus.
[iv. The fourth, concerning the way in which the accomplishment is received (comments on Ch. 11.9):]
