Chapter 8

EN
“Now follows the detailed procedure of the ritual from the great sovereign Bhūta­ḍāmara Tantra.
EN
“To begin, one should visualize a moon disk between one’s folded hands. At its center is the syllable hūṁ, bright within a halo of flames. One should say the following mantra:
EN
“ Oṁ, the vajra of accomplishment! Hūṁ!
EN
“Then, one should say the mantra that destroys all evil. To do this, one should visualize a moon disk at one’s heart. It is marked with a red syllable ca and bindu and is surrounded by a halo of flames. One should then recite the following mantra:
EN
“ Oṁ, kill, crush, and destroy evil! Hūṁ phaṭ!
EN
“Immediately after reciting the mantra one should meditate on emptiness.
EN
“One should next visualize bodhicitta the color of jasmine flowers, the moon, or a crystal, in the middle of which is the syllable hūṁ and an eight-petaled lotus. In the center of the lotus one should imagine that the syllable hūṁ is haloed with flames. One should invite the deity to enter with the following mantra of Wrath’s entry:
EN
“ Oṁ, Wrath! Please enter! Hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ! Aḥ!
EN
“Then, forming the mudrā of Wrath’s entry, one should say the following mantra:
EN
“ Oṁ, Vajra! Please enter and take control! Hūṁ!
EN
“One should then visualize oneself in the form of the deity.
EN
“Then, acting as the supreme master Great Wrath, one should use the mudrā of King Wrath to perform the sixfold placement while reciting:
EN
“At the head: Oṁ, kill, O vajra! Hūṁ!
EN
“At the topknot: Oṁ, burn, O vajra! Hūṁ!
EN
“At the eyes: Oṁ, O blazing vajra! Hūṁ!
EN
“At the chest: Oṁ, O vajra anger! Hūṁ!
EN
“As the armor: Oṁ, O firm vajra! Hūṁ!
EN
“As the weapon: Oṁ, kill, burn, and cook them! O Krodhavajra, kill all the evil ones! Hūṁ phaṭ!
EN
“In this way one should perform the sixfold placement of the king Great Wrath.
EN
“Next, one should summon the essence of the maṇḍala deities. One should extend one’s index fingers in the shape of hooks, fold the other fingers, and combine the mudrā with the following mantra:
EN
“ Oṁ, Vajradhara Great Wrath! Keep your commitments and come quickly! Hrīḥ jaḥ hūṁ! Phaṭ phaṭ svāhā!
EN
“One will then summon all the deities of the maṇḍala.
EN
“The mantra for the welcome offering:
EN
“ Oṁ, all deities! Please be kind and well disposed. Hūṁ!
EN
“The mantra to castigate the evil ones:
EN
“ Oṁ, destroy all evildoers! Burn them, cook them, and turn them to ashes! Hūṁ hūṁ! Phaṭ phaṭ!
EN
“The mantra to bind the directions:
EN
“ Oṁ, intensely fierce Great Vajra Wrath! Bind, bind the ten directions! Hūṁ phaṭ!
EN
“Each of the maṇḍala deities should be addressed with their mantra:
EN
“Mahādeva: Oṁ, bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ!
EN
“Viṣṇu: Oṁ, ā! Svāhā to the glorious one with a discus in his hand!
EN
“Prajāpati: Oṁ, svāhā to the teacher and preceptor of gods!
EN
“Kumāra: Oṁ, hrīḥ! To the one with the power to split Mount Krauñca, phaṭ svāhā!
EN
“Gaṇapati: Oṁ, grūṃ! Svāhā to the leader of the troops!
EN
“Āditya: Oṁ, śrī svaḥ! Svāhā to the thousand-rayed one!
EN
“Nandi: Oṁ, to Lord Nandi, dance, dance! Hrīḥ svāhā!
EN
“Rāhu: Oṁ, courageous enemy of the moon, hūṁ phaṭ svāhā!
EN
“Candra: Oṁ, to Candra, śrīḥ svaḥ svāhā!
EN
“The heart mantras of the goddesses of offerings:
EN
“Umā: Oṁ sprūṃ namaḥ!
EN
“Śrī: Oṁ śrī namaḥ!
EN
“Śaśī: Oṁ śrī jaṃ namaḥ!
EN
“Tilottamā: Oṁ śrī namaḥ!
EN
“Rambhā: Oṁ śrī svaḥ namaḥ!
EN
“Sarasvatī: Oṁ, Sarasvatī! Tell everything! Svāhā!
EN
“Surasundarī: Oṁ, the queen of yakṣas! Kṣīṃ svāhā!
EN
“Bhūti: Oṁ, Subhūti! Hrīḥ!
EN
“Next is the mantra for the female-spirit gatekeepers:
EN
“Oṁ āḥ śrī vāṃ māṃ svāhā!
EN
“The heart mantras of the eight great female spirits are the same as specified before.”
