Saṃvṛtirūpa (संवृतिरूप) refers to the “form in terms of the conventional truth”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] (The meaning of the letter śrī, i.e., the non-dual consciousness—) The letter śrī is the meaning of every originated being. [Every originated being is] known to be external and internal, and both of these [external and internal aspects] are [present as assuming] the form [in terms] of the conventional [truth] (saṃvṛtirūpa). The ultimate [truth] is what is at the end of the pleasure. The syllable letter śrī is also explained by evam and others [that are] non-dual. [...]”.
