67. In the parallel passage in the manuscript of the Mahāpratyaṅgīrā Mahāvidyārājñī, this line is an unbroken continuation of the same dhāraṇī that starts with nāge nāge. Since this dhāraṇī is more corrupt than the previous ones, the reconstruction that follows is tentative. It is not completely clear whether the deity being addressed is female or male. Based on the Tibetan transcript and the parallel passage in the manuscript of the Mahāpratyaṅgīrā Mahāvidyārājñī, this dhāraṇī could be conjecturally reconstructed as nāge nāge mahānāge ghoramānase nāga­hṛdaya­dhūmākule ugraroṣaṇe pracaṇḍa­tejoviṣāgre āśīviśe atighore kṛṣṇa­piṇgale cañcale lala­jihve mahā­phaṇakare kāla­pāśe raudra­vāśini ḍuḍumbe mahā­ghane ghana­śikhini kaṇa kaṇa gaṇa gaṇa mahā­gaṇagaṇe para para piri piri puru puru visphūrjane bhuru bhuru mahā­bhoge maṇi­dhare phiri phiri phuru phuru phara phara varṣa varṣa jalāmbudhare śambhu śambhu varaṭutame dhuddhu dhuddhumbe megha­prabhe megha­vāhine ḍhaka ḍhaka ḍhaka ḍhuḍhumbe ghanaghana­śikhini kana kana gaṇa gaṇa mahā­nāgagaṇe †nirātraṇya­vajra­dakāri† mahā­nāgādhipatnīye ghuma ghuma ghuma pāyasike jāṅgāri­bhujaṃgame vikaṭasaṅkate ghora­visphūrjani vijṛmbhante āvāhayāmi sarva­nāgagaṇān sarva­buddhādhiṣṭhāna-sarva­tryadhvaga­tathāgata­satyena mahā­maitramatinā pravarṣatha jambudvīpe svāhā . It could be translated, somewhat freely given the Sanskrit uncertainties, as “O nāga, nāga, great nāga with a vehement disposition! The essence of nāgas, surrounded by smoke and fiercely enraged! Your supreme venom has terrible potency. O supremely dreadful āśīviṣa snake, black and yellow, with a swaying [body], a quivering tongue, and a great hood! You [resemble] a black noose. You howl wildly and make thunderous sounds. O heavy cloud, with a streak of light amidst the dark, kaṇa kaṇa gaṇa gaṇa! You have many hosts of followers, para para piri piri puru puru! O thundering one, bhuru bhuru! You with the mighty coils and hood, adorned with a jewel, phiri phiri phuru phuru phara phara! Send rain, send rain, O receptacle of water! O kind one, kind one, the best †ṭutamā†! Make thunderous dhuddhu sounds, O thundering one! O cloud-colored bringer of clouds, ḍhaka ḍhaka ḍhaka! Make your thunderous ḍhuḍhu sounds. O heavy cloud, with a streak of light amidst the dark, kana kana gaṇa gaṇa! You with a great retinue of nāgas, †nirātraṇyavajradakāri†! O great lady-ruler of nāgas, ghuma ghuma ghuma. You are fond of milk, O slitherer in the jungle! With your huge form, you are pose a great danger. O terrible thunderer with a gaping mouth! I am summoning all the nāga hosts. By the blessing of all the buddhas, by the verity of all the tathāgatas of the three times, by their loving thoughts, do send rain in Jambudvīpa, svāhā!”
