Root Tantra (Ch. 15:19)

Then, by their uttering HŪṂ HŪṂ HŪṂ BHYOḤ E ĀRALI HRIṂ HRIṂ JAḤ JAḤ, the world systems of the ten directions along with space were condensed within an area the size of a single mustard seed.

Interlinear Commentary

Then they uttered the following mantra, which condenses the world: three syllables HŪṂ, meaning “May [the world] be condensed by the body, speech, and mind of the Great Glorious One!”; BHYOḤ, meaning “the mātaraḥ”; E, meaning “here”; ĀRALI, meaning ḍākinīs or “female intermediaries”; HRIṂ HRIṂ, meaning “gather together!”; and JAḤ JAḤ, meaning “Come, come!” or “Draw in!”

By their uttering of these [mantra] syllables, the world systems of the ten directions, along with the frontiers of space, were all condensed within an area the size of a mustard seed. This is the miraculous ability associated with the power of the buddhas, on which the Sūtra of the Great Bounteousness of the Buddhas accordingly says:

The expanse of space, the expanse of reality itself,

And the expanse of the world systems

May be condensed in a single mustard seed.

But their dimensions are undiminished, as before.

This is a miracle of the expanse of the sugatas.786
