    • Colophon: This treasure originates from the secret scrolls of the ḍākinīs, who are the masters of the mind direct transmission of the buddhas and the sign transmission of the vidyādharas, and who are the source of blessings. It does not contradict the tantras of ground, path and fruition either in words or meaning. For gaining accomplishment, it is undeceiving. It is my, Padma’s, extraordinary teaching. May it become the Naturally Arisen Vajra’s glory! Guhya. The signs dissolve.
