“Good! May the Blessed One show us⁹⁵⁵ the favor of teaching this for the sake of all those who entered the samaya of mantra practice, as well as every other being.”

“Listen, Mañjuśrī, as I will teach at length and in detail how beings can accomplish all their aims by applying all the mantra conduct. And how [do they do this]? First there is [the following] mantra. Homage to all the buddhas whose forms are marvelous and inconceivable. It is:

“ Oṁ, act, act! Accomplish all aims, accomplish!⁹⁵⁶ O (female) sky dweller who dumbfounds all the wicked ones, effect the purification! Svāhā! ⁹⁵⁷

“One should employ this mantra in the rites of crafting all types of rosaries, those that involve cleaning, drilling, threading, separating, and so forth.⁹⁵⁸
