Part 5 - Praise of the freedoms and favors, the support of all the vehicles
The level of wisdom, that sees the truth without conception

Is said to be the exalted free and favored human body

This is the wondrously risen king of secret mantra.
If human beings exert themselves in gaining it,
Accomplishment occurs within this very life.
Why even speak of accomplishments of other yogas?
Therefore, as the support of all the vehicles, the freedoms and favors have been praised.
