大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Shubhakarasimha & Yixing 724) 6.65

6.65

"With each and every mantra, / Perform mental recitation in the mind; / Inhalation and exhalation make two, / Ever in the foremost correspondence. / If one receives and holds it otherwise, / The mantra lacks its limbs. / Correspondence of the internal and external / I say is of four kinds. / That worldly recitation / Has continuous focus on an object, / Abiding in the syllables and phrases of the bīja, / Or the mind follows the iṣṭadevatā; / Hence it is said to have grasping; / Inhalation and exhalation are supreme. / Know that the transcendent mind / Is far removed from syllables; / Oneself and the deity have one characteristic, / Non-dual and without clinging, / Not destroying the mental image of form; / Do not diverge from the rule. / The three hundred thousand [recitations] spoken of / Comprise many kinds of holding mantras, / Until all sins are eliminated / And the mantrin is purified; / In accordance with the count of recitation, / Do not deviate from such teaching."
