7.16

And established beings in samādhi according to their capacities.
Contemplate well the meaning of these words
And meditate perfectly, in reliance upon emptiness.

“If in the presence of an image of the Bhagavat
You can remain in genuine, one-pointed mindfulness,
Then you will obtain excellent wisdom, samādhi,
And the sublime, supreme dhāraṇī.

“The golden mouth of the Bhagavat taught the Dharma,
And he guided devas and humans with his beautiful voice.
The sign that is his tongue manifests a wonder according to conditions—
It becomes vast and long and covers the worlds of the trichiliocosm.

“If you keep your mind one-pointed upon that beautiful
Speech of the Bhagavat, you will attain fearlessness.
This inconceivable sign that is his tongue was acquired
Through the power of the vast prayers of the Bhagavat.

“He taught that phenomena have no existence
And are like space that is devoid of impediments.
By contemplating and evaluating the Bhagavat’s speech,
The sign of his tongue, your prayers will be fulfilled.

“If the great goddess Sarasvatī sees offerings,
Or sees a pupil following a master’s instructions
And practicing and meditating on this secret rite
Or revering it, their wishes will be accomplished.

“Someone who wishes for perfect, sublime wisdom
Should single-mindedly possess this rite.
It will increase merit, wisdom, and qualities
And will have definite accomplishment, have no doubt!⁹⁵²

“Those who seek wealth will obtain great wealth.
Those who seek fame will attain great fame.
Those who seek deliverance will be delivered.
This will definitely be attained, have no doubt!⁹⁵³

“Contemplate and gather into your mind
All countless, endless⁹⁵⁴ good qualities.
If you are able to practice in this way in accord with the Dharma,
They will definitely be attained, have no doubt!⁹⁵⁵

“In a clean place, wear new⁹⁵⁶ clothes.
Create a maṇḍala of whatever size you can.
Fill four clean vases with a delicious flavor
