Then the Blessed One, the Vajra Holder, taught this chapter on mantra for the sake of living beings:

“Oṃ nīlāmbara­dhara vajrapāṇi hūṃ hūṃ phaṭ.

“The root mantra of the Blessed One accomplishes all activities; This is the secret of the awakened mind of all buddhas. It accomplishes all activity, even without practice; With the vajra fists, you accomplish the binding of all mudrās.

“With vajra confidence, you accomplish all samaya vows! With the vajra smile, you are affectionate toward all sentient beings. By uttering the vajra hūṃ, you make everyone mute. Through the vajra lotus, you gain the spiritual accomplishment of traversing the sky.

“With the tail of the peacock, you tame all nāgas. With the diagram, you kill all enemies. If you wish to accomplish wealth, perform the water offering to Jambhala. If you wish to repel obstacle makers, do so through absorption. With the vajra iron hook, you summon all.

“Protect against epidemics with the kuśa grass pock. If you wish to accomplish nāgas, use the shoots of hardwood trees and nectar. If you wish to destroy an opposing army, do so with frankincense. For all actions, recite a hundred thousand mantras.”
