a description of Release as opposed to Path instruction

True, but interesting nonetheless. Why do you think the instructions to attain this kind of release were lost to the suttas?

It reminds me a little of this:
Ja-lu: 'Ja ' lus – the rainbow body. Dzogchen practitioners who have mastered the Trék-chod phase of Dzogchen in which pure and total presence is stabilised, are able to practice Tö-gal. Tö-gal is the final practice of Dzogchen, which enables the yogi or yogini to dissolve his or her physical body into the essence of the elements at the time of death. The yogi or yogini then disappears into a body of light, leaving only hair, toe & finger nails, and nasal septum behind. URL

Anyone else seen anything similar in the suttas?
