Sarvavīrasamāyoga (सर्ववीरसमायोग) 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. The literal, and possibly basic meaning, is “Ocean of Ḍākas”. 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 of all heroes” (sarvavīrasamāyoga) [sarvavīrasamāyogād], which is equivalent in meaning to the “Ocean of Ḍākas”.
