Conventional language

Vajra expressions (rdo-rje'i tshig) that clearly indicate something shared in common with the lower tantras, by using words that are either worldly conventions ('jig-rten-pa'i tha-snyad) or coinages (brnga) of Sanskrit grammarians. One of the six alternatives (mtha'-drug) for interpreting the obscure language of anuttarayoga root tantra texts.
