'phul 'debs

GJT: 'phul 'debs pa "purify through pushing" refers to the third, and final, of three modes of purification in Vajrasattva practice; the first two being yan 'debs and 'phul 'debs. Having purified from above and below, the practitioner now imagines that any remaining impurities are concentrated in the heart area and then forcefully purified, as if by a jet or stream of water, by the amrita from Vajrasattva which causes them to dissipate from the heart region into space. N.B. GJT said that "deb" had the sense of "to push" but did not know the spelling of "deb" so 'debs is a best guess. See also yan 'debs and man 'debs [mss]
