Chapter 21 - Eulogy to the Wrathful Deities
Then the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 of the assembled host of the Transcendent Lord, the Great Joyous One, sane this following song with a most awesome glare. [1]
H弄峁�! Most ferocious, blazing forth
Like the fire at the end of time,
There are light rays which have the radiance
Of a hundred thousand suns,
Frowns of wrath like the flashing
Of a thousand lightning bolts,
And sharp fangs which devour. HO岣�! [2]H弄峁�! With an awesome roar, most ferocious
Like the rumbling of a thousand claps of thunder,
And the sound of a hundred-thousand Mount Sumerus crumbling,
There is the loudest laughter of Ala and Hala,
And the whirlwind that is emitted has a greater blast. [3]H弄峁�! The great light of wrathful discriminative awareness
Is radiant in all 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s of pristine cognition.
It entirely subdues (conflicting emotions)
In blazing pristine cognition.
The pristine cognitions of diverse kinds
Are present in this great seminal point. HO岣� [4]H弄峁�! The king of wrathful deities is a great cloud.
Causing a treat cascade of wrathful 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s.
The diverse wrathful treasures
Of the wish-fulfilling 尘补峁囜笉补濒补s that emerge
Are present in this great seminal point. HO岣�! [5]H弄峁�! The great demons of all demons
Are those demons among demons who subdue demons
And also terrify their fearsome hosts.
These most terrifying (Herukas)
Are present in this great seminal point. HO岣�! [6]H弄峁�! The great rock of indestructible reality is the solidifier.
The water of indestructible reality is the great dissolver.
The fire of indestructible reality is a mighty blaze.
The air of indestructible reality is a great whirlwind. HO岣�! [7]
Such was the song they purposefully sang. This completes the twenty-first chapter from the Secret Nucleus Definitive with respect to the Real entitled A Eulogy to the Wrathful Deities. [8]
