5.28

Then Vajrapāṇi rose to the stage of the body, speech, and mind of the

World-honored One Vairocana; observing that [all] dharmas are equal, he

thought of future beings, and in order to sever all doubts he uttered the great

king of mantras: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ asamāptadharmadhātugatiṃ

gatānāṃ, sarvathā āṃ khāṃ aṃ aḥ saṃ saḥ haṃ haḥ raṃ raḥ vaṃ vaḥ svāhā,

hūṃ raṃ raḥ hra haḥ svāhā, raṃ raḥ svāhā. (Homage to all Buddhas who

have gone to the state of the unending Dharma realm! In every way āṃ khāṃ

aṃ aḥ saṃ saḥ haṃ haḥ raṃ raḥ vaṃ vaḥ svāhā! hūṃ raṃ raḥ hra haḥ

svāhā! raṃ raḥ svāhā!) [247]

When the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries had finished uttering this king

of mantras, all Tathāgatas dwelling in world-systems in the ten directions

each extended their right hand and caressed the vajradhara’s head, and with

exclamations of applause they praised him, saying, “Excellent, excellent, Son of the Buddha! You have ascended to the stage of the body, speech, and mind of the World-honored One Vairocana, and out of a desire to illumine bodhisattvas everywhere dwelling in the mantra path of equality you have uttered this king of mantras. Why? The World-honored One Vairocana, worthy [of worship] and perfectly and fully awakened, when seated on the bodhiseat observed the Dharma realm with [these] twelve syllables and vanquished the four demons. These [syllables] born of the Dharma realm flowed forth from three places [in his body] and destroyed the hosts of the army of the heavenly demon (i.e., Pāpīyas). Then he obtained the equality of the body, speech, and mind of a World-honored One, the measure of his body being identical with that of empty space and likewise the measure of his speech and mind. He attained the arising of boundless knowledge, became sovereign over all dharmas, and expounded the Dharma, namely, this twelve-syllable king of mantras. Son of the Buddha, because you have now realized the equal body, speech, and mind of the World-honored One Vairocana, you will be recognized by all as being identical to a perfectly all-knowing one.”

They then spoke these verses:

You have asked the omniscient Vairocana, the Honored One who is

perfectly awakened,

About the supreme mantra practices, and he will explain the ritual

instructions.

In former times we awakened wondrous bodhi by this means,

Revealed all dharmas, and caused [others] to reach nirvana.

The buddhas presently in realms in the ten directions have all

realized this.

Then Vajrapāni, endowed with virtue, rejoiced greatly in his heart and, empowered by the awesome divinity of the buddhas, he spoke these verses:

This Dharma is never exhausted, has no own-nature, and does not

abide [in one place];

It is liberated from karma and [re]birth, and is the same as the

Perfectly All-knowing One.
