Answer (optional):
The three types of autonomy mentioned in the sentence are outer, inner, and secret. Outer autonomy is achieved through the introduction of the form of the principal deity, the retinue, and the mandala as bases for stabilizing meditation. Inner autonomy is attained by emerging victorious over self-grasping through cultivating the altruistic intent. Secret mantra enables one to attain autonomy of mind through bodhicitta, which is the direct antidote to self-grasping.
