Dombi Heruka (dom bhi he ru ka), "He of the Washer Folk" was one of the Eighty-four Mahasiddhas of India.
Dombi Heruka accepts five special qualities of Mantrayana:
- Here there is the special quality of the recipient,
- The special quality of the teaching given,
- The special quality of the scriptures, and of the path;
- Thus through the special quality of fruition
- This vehicle of Mantra is especially exhalted.
According to Indrabhuti, Mantrayana is superior due to these seven special qualities of Mantrayana: the special quality of the master, recipient, ritual, activities, commitment, view of training, and conduct.
Moreover, according to the master Jnana Shri, Mantrayana is superior due to these eleven special qualities of Mantrayana: the skillful means of focusing on this unexcelled aim, of unexcelled practice, of unexcelled wisdom, of unexcelled exertion, of the capacity to accept all disciples without exception, of the consecration of these disturbing emotions, of swift blessings, of quick results, of the abandonment of disturbing emotions, of unexcelled attitude, and finally, the skillful means of unexcelled conduct. (JOKYAB) (RY) from The Light of Wisdom, Vol. 1, pg. 280.
The Accomplishment of Means and Knowledge, which is one of the Seven Sections of Accomplishment mentions this: "The subject, consciousness, fully discerns each and every individual known object. Having fully and correctly discriminated and analyzed through this joining together of subject and object, the nature of all phenomena is effortlessly recognized as devoid of a self-nature.
The Seven Sections of Accomplishment are seven scriptures composed by Indian mahasiddhas: Accomplishment of Secrets, written by Mahasuka Natha; the Accomplishment of Means and Knowledge written by Mahasuka Natha's disciple, Yenlak Meypey Dorje; Accomplishment of Wisdom, written by Yenlak Meypey Dorje's disciple Indrabhuti; Accomplishment of Nonduality, written by Indrabhuti's consort Lakshmikara; Accomplishment of the Innate, written by Dombi Heruka; Accomplishment of the Great Secret Thatness written by Darikapa; and Accomplishment of Thatness to Clearly Encompass Reality, written by Yogini Chito.
