The first chapter begins, in the fashion of the ‘explanatory tantras� (ٲԳٰ), by stating that the actual teachings have already been imparted; the Goddess (Devī) Māmakī then asks for insights on the means to achieve (󲹲Բ) the supreme Nectar of the Vajra (峾ṛt) [...] Afterwards, the text describes the door-guardians () and the eight Wisdoms () [viz., Śś, etc.] which are located in the eight leaves of the lotus.
