Emanent 'The skull-holder was not really so, but was a nirmana form of Heruka, who said, "In this life you must write the six main texts and in the _bar-do_ period you will attain the very highest siddhi." The acarya replied, "When pressed beneath your feet, even my lower winds vanish. By your kind mercy, please withdraw your left leg! If your nine-fold crest ornaments are kept straight, even the Brahma-realm vanishes. Please remain with your head moving but a little! If your hands are kept straight, the guardians of the four quarters become terrified. By your kind mercy please withdraw your hands a little! O noble one, as your body is in a dancing pose and is purposefully maintained, I bow down before you with faith and an excess of reverence!"' (from Taranatha's Life of Krsnacarya/Kanha, trans. David Templemann) performing (1/y(sin(x)) <-- y(tan(x)))
