Text 13.6 (Commentary)

[Guhyagarbha-Tantra, Text section 13.6]

The ṇḍ which emerges from the ṇḍ
Is the ṇḍ of Buddha-mind.
Supreme among ṇḍs. [6]

[Tibetan]

dkyil-'khor dkyil-'khor-las byung-ba /
thugs-kyi dkyil-'khor dkyil-'khor mchog / [6]

Because it is naturally pure right where it is, without being renounced, it is called the ṇḍ of buddha-mind (thugs-kyi dkyil-'khor) supreme among (mchog) all ṇḍs (dkyil-'khor).[1]

[iii. The third, concerning the stage of inner radiance where these are without duality, (comments on Ch. 13.7):]
