Then, the lord of all the blessed tathāgatas supplicated the Bhagavat, the great vajra holder, using this king of praises:

“By applying the mudrā of anger, Which delights the vajra holders, And then sealing it with the vajra mudrā, A vast array of siddhis are attained.”

The vajra holder, the king, Then made this statement: “Visualize Yama’s Slayer On the heads of all the maṇḍala deities.

“Continually draw the maṇḍala. Continually satisfy with fire offerings. Continually uphold the samayas. Continually maintain the vows.

“First is the crown initiation. Second, the sword initiation should be given. Third, the vajra and bell initiation. The eating of the moon is fourth.

“These are the four great initiations, Sprung from the Black One’s mouth. Through the uniqueness of these four initiations, The children of the jinas attain awakening.

“Next, I will explain the mantra, The means for offering bali to all spirits. By merely reciting the great mantra All spirits will tremble.

oṁ indrāya hrīḥ | yamāya ṣṭrīḥ | varuṇāya viḥ | kuberāya kṛ | īśvanāya taḥ | agnaye ā | nairṛtyāya na | vāyave na | candrāya hūṁ | arkāya hūṁ | brahmaṇe phaṭ | vasudhārāyai phaṭ | vemacitriṇe svā | sarva­bhūtebhyo hā | ha ha hi hi hūṁ hūṁ pheṁ pheṁ svāhā |

“Once the triangular maṇḍala is made, Using a mixture of urine, feces, and water, The yogin should satisfy the deities, And should call to mind the syllables hā hā.

“The adept should draw Three concentric circles, With eight, twelve, and sixteen cells And place the mantra syllables throughout.

“The vow-holder should place The perfected syllables in the twelve cells The vow-holder will be victorious in every way Over the three worlds, the animate and inanimate.

ya ma rā jā sa do me ya ya me do ru ṇa yo da ya | ya da yo ni ra ya kṣe ya ya kṣe ya ccha ni rā ma ya

“Ya is to be placed in the center, kṣe to the east, In the south, Mañjuvajra, The syllable me is drawn in the west, And in the north, dantadhāvanam.

“The target’s name should be added In the empty intermediate directions. By framing it with two hūṁs, All ritual actions will be successful.

“The syllables ya, ccha, ni, rā, jā, Sa, do, ru, ṇa, yo, ni, ra, and the rest, Should be drawn outside, from the left. This will fulfill all aims.

“In the third ring, from the east, One should draw the syllables Of the mantra beginning oṁ hrīḥ ṣṭrīḥ In every other cell.

“In each of the eight intermediate cells, One should write, from the left Mūkaṃ kuru, uccāṭaya, vaśīkuru, vidveṣaya, śāntiṃ kuru, or puṣṭiṃ kuru, Depending on the specific rite.

“Oṁ is at the beginning and then namaḥ after that, And then, after that, vauṣaṭ. Furnishing these seeds with hūṃ and phaṭ Effects the pacifying, enriching, and enthralling rites.

This was the sixth chapter, “Drawing the Circle,” from The Tantra of Black Yamāri, the Body, Speech, and Mind of All Tathāgatas.
