[Guhyagarbha-Tantra, Text section 21.5]

HŪ�! The king of wrathful deities is a great cloud.
Causing a treat cascade of wrathful ṇḍ.
The diverse wrathful treasures
Of the wish-fulfilling ṇḍ that emerge
Are present in this great seminal point. HO�! [5]

One who possesses the enlightened attributes which instruct venomous beings is the king of wrathful deities (khro-bo 'i rgyal-po). That one is said to be a great cloud (sprin chen-po) because he is the basis for the downpour of manifold emanations, causing a great cascade of wrathful ṇḍ (khros-pa'i dkyil-'khor char-chen 'bebs) through the wrath of his Buddha-mind. Among the diverse wrathful (sna-tshogs khros-pa'i) forms emanated from the treasures of (gter) the ṇḍ (dkyil-'khor) that emerge ('byung-ba'i) as desired, in the manner of the wish-fulfilling (yid-bzhin) gem, and which for the sake of those to be trained instruct each according to his or her needs, all of them that pervade space are indeed present in this great seminal point (thig-le che) or abiding nature.
