The following is respectfully quoted from “Perfect Conduct” with commentary by Dudjom Rinpoche:
4.b.3(b.13) Failing to rely upon appropriate samaya substances:
The thirteenth is failing to rely upon necessary word of honor substances at the required time.
During Vajrayana ceremonies, such as the ganacakra feast and on other specific occasions, the gathered disciples are seen as dākas and dākinis. Those dākas and dākinis possess mantra materials such as vajra and bell, partake of the five meats and the five nectars, sing special songs of invocation, and dance according to the samaya requirements. Holding the view of the śravakas or the pratyekas during these times, and thus failing to partake or participate because of that view, constitutes the downfall.
