Then, the blessed Mahāpuruṣasamaya, Vajrasattva in essence, entered the meditative absorption of Carcikā’s form, then Vārāhī’s form, then Sarasvatī’s form, then Gaurī’s form, and performed these songs of offering:

“Hey, Black Yamāri! Master! You have the nature and form of a rākṣasa. I am terrified when I look at you, Please cast off this wrathful nature!

“The heavens, earth, and underworld Quake from your dance. Wrathful one, black as collyrium, You dance to appease the vetālas.

“Of dark, complex, and dwarfish stature, You emanate a variety of different forms. Essence of great bliss, dance! I, Vajrasarasvatī, supplicate you.

“With the hrīḥ ṣṭrīḥ mantra and your dance, You cut through the confusion of the three existences. Your liberating dance of compassionate wrath Fills the world with faith and wonder.

“Next, I will explain The supreme characteristics of mantra recitation. Those who apply this mantra recitation Will attain vast siddhis.

“Neither too quickly nor too leisurely, Neither too long nor too short, For the master of Yama, the supreme person, The recitation should be barely audible.

“The recitation mālā should be made From buffalo or human bones, Or those of an elephant, cow, horse, Donkey, or camel.

“On the fourteenth day of the first month, One should gather the five meats Mixed with the five nectars. Recitation then leads to the supreme siddhi.

“The yogi should visualize Yamāri inside each bead. Or, the adept can visualize them As human heads covered in blood.

“When applying the practice of Vajra Yamāri, Bhūtas will die after 10,000 recitations. Ḍākinīs will die after one thousand, As will the hosts of māras and pretas.

“After 100,000 recitations, the one immersed in yoga Can perform any of the ritual activities. After ten million repetitions, they will be granted siddhis, To say nothing of fifty million.

“Every day, every month, Or even every year, The adept should make sixty-four bali offerings At the sixty-four daṇḍas.

“Whenever one has a little something to eat, When they have little something to drink, Or when they enjoy a full meal, The best part should be offered to Yamāri.

“Now, I will explain the gifts That are to be offered to the master In order to accomplish all activities And to pacify oneself.

“The vow-holder should offer themselves, As well as a horse, cow, or elephant, Or gold, and beyond that, Their own spouse and children, Their mother, sisters, and nieces, As well as their brothers.

“One should offer different articles of clothing, A parasol and elegant tail whisk, A home, a seat, and fragrances, As well as songs and music, A sword and jewelry.

This was the twelfth chapter, “All Unique Ancillary Rites,” from The Tantra of Black Yamāri, the Body, Speech, and Mind of All Tathāgatas.
