This means that the letter kṣa is a combination of the first consonant ka and the last consonant sa, which is changed to the retroflex ṣ. This conjunct covers the whole range of consonants, and therefore, when all sentient beings are visualized and initiated as one, kṣa becomes the seed syllable, and the first consonant of the name of the deities also becomes a seed syllable. [283] When individual beings are being initiated, the first consonant of that individual’s name becomes the seed syllable.

How does the letter sa develop into retroflex ṣa? The grammar texts say: “From the letter ka the following sa becomes ṣa.” Therefore sa is changed to ṣa. The letter ka, without its life-giving vowel a, is placed on top of the letter sa to become kṣa.

If this meditation is to be performed more extensively, every sentient being enters one’s heart, where they are melted into bodhicitta. They are brought into the mother’s womb, where the first consonant of every sentient being’s name becomes a seed syllable to be transformed into the deity. The rest of the meditation proceeds as before.

This has been an explanation of the branch of the body-vajra approach, a meditation on the sovereign mandala, correlating with the formation of a body inside the womb.
