“Mañjuśrī, the rite for increasing is as follows. Smear the floor of a shrine chamber with the five substances of a red-brown cow and arrange a maṇḍala anointed with scented water. Pile heaps of flowers on it and set out an illustration for the increasing rite. Prepare twenty-one pills made from the five precious substances, grains, medicinal substances, and so on, place them in an amulet made of precious materials, and set the amulet in the center of the maṇḍala. Also arrange four incense burners, flowers, and so on. Then, cultivate the following meditation.

“Visualize the single heroine Tārā, the mother rich in swift diligence who takes the form of a yoginī, emerging from the syllable tāṁ. She springs from a blossoming lotus and sits upon a full moon disk. Her extensive body is yellow in color, radiant like the autumn moon, and aglow with youthfulness like the sun unobscured by clouds. She is beautifully adorned with a long necklace, armlets, jewel tassels, and other ornaments. She wears a skirt made of Pañcāla cloth and a top made of silk from Kāśī. She is seated in the half-lotus posture, has one face and two hands, and smiles with darting eyes. Her right hand is in the boon-granting gesture, while her left holds an utpala flower by the stem. Light rays stream from her body, and amṛta flows down from the center of the lotus and its anthers. She is accompanied by countless bodhisattvas, who emit light from their bodies and overcome the power of the throngs of gods, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, humans, gandharvas, mahoragas, and rākṣasas. Visualizing this, recite the following mantra:
EN
“oṁ tāre tāre tuttāre ture svāhā.

“If you then recite it together with the mantra for the rite, either one, seven, twenty-one, or one hundred and eight times, and make a request, it will be fulfilled.
EN
“Mañjuśrī, the benefits of this rite are such that even the throngs of gods, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, humans, gandharvas, mahoragas, and rākṣasas will be unable to withstand its power. Rather, they will guard and protect you. You will remain unharmed by untimely death, conflict, nightmares, bad omens, fever, boils, infectious diseases, and the like. Even at the time of death, you will remain strong, and you will not be reborn in the lower realms.
EN
“Mañjuśrī, through this rite you will acquire all necessary goods, longevity, vibrancy, and strength. You will come to see the tathāgatas and be imbued with strength.”
