[The summary of the chapter (comments on Ch. 12.17):]
Through (-pas) this (ces) meaningful expression (ched-du brjod) uttered in the presence of the retinue, which is pure and selfmanifest, all the 罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补蝉 were pleased (mnyes-bar gyur-to) by (-gyis) the offerings arrayed as the cloud (sprin) of that display (rol-mo'i) of contemplation, an excellent self-manifesting ornament which radiates without obscuration throughout the ten directions.
This completes (-'o) the exegesis of the twelfth chapter (le'u-ste bcu-gnyis-pa) from the (las) supremely Secret Nucleus (gsang-ba'i snying-po) or display of skillful means. Definitive with respect to the Real (de-kho-na-nyid nges-pa) apparitional feastofferings, entitled the Attainment of the Feast-Offerings (tshogs-bsgrub-pa'i), i.e., the provisions of merit and pristine cognition according to the path.
