Then Vajrapāṇi, the lord of guhyakas, said this to Maheśvara: “Listen, Mahādeva! I will make everyone a servant of the one who transcends the triple universe. I will bring the rogue deities under control.”

Maheśvara-Mahādeva then said to the lord, “Please give, O lord, the full instructions for the practice that will bond us to you along with the mudrās and mantric formulas of the one who is invincibly efficient and transcends the triple universe.”

Then the whole assembly applauded Śiva by saying, “Well done! It was well done, Mahādeva, to have requested the teaching that tames those who are wicked to one another!”

Then Vajradhara, the supreme master Great Wrath, said:

“I will now teach in full The supreme maṇḍala of Wrath.

“It has four corners and four doors And is adorned with four gateways. It has sixteen sections And is adorned with a vajra wall.

“One should place the great fierce one, Vajra Wrath, in the center of the maṇḍala. He is surrounded by a halo of flames, Blazing like the apocalyptic fire.

“His huge body is the color of collyrium, His diadem is fashioned from skulls; He laughs loudly, and he is terrifying, Instilling fear in the triple universe.

“To the right side of the lord One should draw Mahādeva. He is of the brilliant white color of the moon, White as pearl or milk.

“He is peaceful, with three eyes and four arms, In which he carries a yak-tail whisk, A trident, a bow, and a javelin. He sits on a seat furnished by a bull.

“To the left side of the lord One should draw Nārāyaṇa Holding a yak-tail whisk, a conch, A discus, and a mace in his hands.

“Behind the lord, one should draw king Śakra And, in front of him, Kārttikeya. Brahmā, holding a parasol, is the color Of snow, jasmine flowers, or the moon.

“One should draw an image of him Sitting on a throne in front of Indra. Alternatively, the follower of mantra Can make him as white as pearl or milk.

“Kārttikeya should be drawn red, With a yak-tail whisk in his hand. Śakra should be drawn yellow, With three eyes, and adorned with jewelry.

“Mahādeva should be drawn Bedecked with all kinds of jewelry, With a yak-tail whisk in his hand, Sitting on the seat of a bull.

“Sanātana sits on the seat of a garuḍa, With a discus in his hand. Śakra sits on an elephant; Kārttikeya’s seat is a peacock.

“In the outer corners, One should draw the eight bhūtinīs:

“Padmāvatī, Mahāpadmā, Vibhūti, Surahāriṇī, Vārāhī, Mahāratnī, Vibhūṣaṇī, and Jagatpālinī.

“These eight bhūtinīs, possessed of great miraculous powers, are described in glorious terms.

“Padmāvatī and Mahāpadmā Should be colored white. Vibhūti and Surahāriṇī Should be colored red.

“The remaining four bhūtinīs Should all be drawn in the same golden color. These eight great bhūtinīs, possessed of great powers, Should be drawn as instructed.

“The procedure for this maṇḍala is as follows:

“The vajra master should adorn himself with a garland of blue flowers, tie a blue bandana around his head, and put on a pair of blue garments. He should recite the following heart mantra of Great Wrath for the benefit of all beings, resolved on success in the practice of Great Wrath. At that very time he will successfully take control of all deities.

“ Hūṁ, O vajra! Phaṭ!

“As soon as this mantra is pronounced, all the deities will be brought under control.

“The mantras for vajra-castigation:

“The master should stand with his left leg outstretched and his right slightly bent. Raising the vajra-scepter, he will destroy all the deities with the mere utterance of the syllable hūṁ, just as Vajrapāṇi has declared. Instantly, the apsarases, yakṣiṇīs, nāginīs, bhūtas, and bhūtinīs, possessed of great powers, will perish, subjected to the mantra of vajra-castigation.

“ Oṁ, Great Wrath, blazing like lightning! Strike, burn, cook, and kill! Hūṁ hūṁ! Phaṭ phaṭ!

“Following this recitation all the deities will be dead or castigated.

“ Hūṁ, hūṁ, hūṁ! Phaṭ, phaṭ, phaṭ!

“Using this mantra, even a buddha is certain to be torn to pieces.

“The master should then usher in the disciples. He should perform the armor protection by means of the mudrā of Great Wrath and cause the deity to enter with the following mantra:

“ Oṁ, Great Wrath! Please enter! Hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ, āḥ! You are the holder of the terrible vajra surrounded by a halo of flames. Āḥ!

“As soon as this mantra is uttered, he will become able to effect the ‘external’ possession, the summoning, and the humbling.

“Next in the great sovereign Bhūta­ḍāmara Tantra are the detailed instructions on the ritual of the maṇḍala of Great Wrath.

“The mantra of Siṃha­dhvaja­dhāriṇī, who is located in front of Great Wrath:

“ Oṁ, bhūḥ! Glorious Siṃha­dhvaja­dhāriṇī! Hrīḥ!

“The mantra of Padmāvatī, who is behind Great Wrath:

“ Oṁ, hūṁ, bhūṁ! The great Padmāvatī, holding an arrow and bow! Hūṁ!

“The mantra of Vibhūti, who is to the right of Great Wrath:

“ Oṁ, hūṁ! Vibhūti, holding a goad! Hūṁ, jaḥ!

“The mantra of Surahāriṇī, who is to the left of Great Wrath:

“ Oṁ, hūṁ, bhūḥ! Surahāriṇī, holding a banner surmounted by a wish-fulfilling gem! Śrūṃ!

“The mantra for the northeast:

“ Oṁ, Glorious Vārāhī, with a flower in her hand! Hūṁ!

“The mantra for incense, in the southeast:
