“Mañjuśrī, the mother of the jewel family has four faces and eight hands. Her main face is dark blue, as is her youthful body. Her right face is white, her left face is red, and her rear face is yellow. Each is marked on its crown with the four families and has three eyes. In her right hands she holds a jewel, an arrow, and a spear, while the lowermost hand is in the boon-granting gesture. In her left hands she holds an utpala flower, a bow, and a vajra hook, and she wields a lasso while making the threatening gesture. She sits in the vajra posture and is of dharmakāya nature.

“Mañjuśrī, this is her mantra:

“namo ratna-trayāya | nama ārya-jñāna-sāgarāya ratnasambhava-vyūha-rājāya | tathāgatāya | arhate samyak-sambuddhāya | nama āryāvalokiteśvarāya | bodhisattvāya | mahāsattvāya | mahā-kāruṇikāya | tadyathā | oṁ tāre tāre tuttāre ture svāhā.

“With that, the entire jewel family make offerings of flowers, incense, lamps, and scented water.

“Mañjuśrī, her rite is as follows. Mix together rotten rhododendron root, bugs born from manure, and two seeds. Insert them into a clay amulet, and recite this mantra:

“oṁ amukābhidhānam ākarṣaya ākarṣaya | amukīm mamepsitaṃ svapnaṃ kathaya hūṁ hrīḥ.

“If you then hide it under the bed, you will gain knowledge of good qualities and become steadfast.”
