[The Ācārya] should take hold [of the soul] through yoga and expel it with the razor and other fierce mantras in order to bring its union [with the deity] through the highest fusion (parayoga-samāyoga).

Samāyoga (समायोग) refers to the “complete union (of all heroes)”, one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Exegetically, the term “ Ḍākārṇava” has multiple meanings.

In the closing verses of the chapters in the Ḍākārṇava, the Lord or Blessed One is described as having the nature of “the complete union (samāyoga) of all heroes” [sarvavīrasamāyogād], which is equivalent in meaning to the “Ocean of Ḍākas”.
