Dakini Simmer-Browns says:
"The dakini, in her various guises, serves as each of the Three Roots. She may be a human guru, a
vajra master who transmits the
Vajrayana teachings to her disciples and joins them in
samaya commitments. The wisdom dakini may be a
yidam, a meditational deity; female
deity yogas such as
Vajrayogini are common in
Tibetan Buddhism. Or she may be a protector; the wisdom dakinis have special power and responsibility to protect the integrity of oral transmissions[1]

What does that mean? "joins them in samaya commitments"?
