翱峁�! Comprising all the atoms of the worlds within the ten directions,
The purposes of the conquerors, equal to the number of atomic particles,
Through unthinkable emanations, equal to the number of atomic particles,
(Have) spontaneously presence in an instantaneous moment of time. 贬翱岣�! [6][Tibetan]

Commentary:
[The fifth is a eulogy on behalf of the pristine cognition of accomplishment in the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of enlightened activity or the enlightened family of activity. (It comments on Ch. 14.6):][1]
The syllable 翱峁�! is expressed because the five kinds of enlightened activity are spontaneously present. The excellent field of those to be trained is one comprising (du) all the atoms of (rdul-snyen) container-worlds ('jig-rten) or fields and their sentient contents within the ten directions (phyogs-bcu'i) of the six world-systems.
The Buddha-body of this enlightened activity refers to the purposes of the conquerors (rgyal-ba'i don-rnams) which demonstrate four kinds of enlightened activity, equal to the number of atomic particles (rdul-phran snyed) in those worlds. Such deeds are in fact their own essence.
The Buddha-speech of this enlightened activity refers to the diffusion of emanations by whom (these actions) are demonstrated, i.e. instruction through unthinkable (bsam-yas-kyis) emanations (sprul-pa) who instruct each according to his or her needs, and who are also equal to the number of atomic particles (rdul-snyen).
The Buddha-mind of this enlightened activity refers to the effortless spontaneous presence (lhun-gyis grub) for the sake of living creatures through which these emanations grant instruction, pervading their fields in an instantaneous moment of time (skad-cig yud-la). This is accomplished without wavering from the Buddha-body of reality. 贬翱岣�! is exclaimed because this (enlightened activity) is amazing.
[The second subdivision (see p. 1056) is a particular eulogy to the male and female consorts who are the mighty lord and lady of the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补. (It comments on Ch. 14.7):]
