Commentary:
[iv. Fourthly (see p. 689), there is the appearance of wondrous omens (which comments on Ch. 7.12):]
With these (zhes brjod-pas) words, the maṇḍalas (dkyil-'khor de-dag-gis) of the secret mantras of Buddha-speech (gsung-gi) resounded pervasively (khyab-par grags-so) with the great sound of mantra in all the ten directions of the six world-systems ('jig-rten drug-gi phyogs-bcu thams-cad-du). They further resounded (rab-tu grags-so) by conferring maturation on all the minds of sentient beings; and they absolutely resounded (kun-tu grags-so) by conferring liberation on them. One should know that these (three stages) also refer respectively to the sounds of the secret mantras of buddha-body, speech and mind, to the rays which are emitted from them, and to their grand apparition which is totally diffused.
