Text 20.19 (Commentary)

[Guhyagarbha-Tantra, Text section 20.19]

By the great songs and verses,
Dance-steps and gesticulations
Of the great Siṃhamukhī and so forth,
All beings in their entirety are consumed.
And are made non-existent.
Even to the extent of the smallest atomic particle.
By the great songs and verses.
Dance-steps and gesticulations
Of the great Gṛdhramukhī and so forth,
(Organs) are all extracted, without exception.
And are all thoroughly depleted. [19]

[Tibetan]
