“It is your own mantra that I am going to reveal.²⁵⁰⁵
You may disseminate it as you like,
[But] it is not possible for you to proclaim
The power of [Lord of] Wrath.²⁵⁰⁶

“If you ask why, it is because
He is identical with you
And is seen present here in [your own] body,
Summoned there for you as your heart essence.²⁵⁰⁷

“With Lord of Wrath immerged in you,
It is not possible to reverse it at this stage.
Once you have departed, permitted to do so,
You may teach your own samaya the way you like.²⁵⁰⁸

“If one is unwashed, sleepy,
Engaged in the dharma of commoners,²⁵⁰⁹
Anointed with oil and not protected,
And always having bad thoughts;

“If one has given up all the excellent mantras,
Has no faith in the teachings,²⁵¹⁰
And consequently harbors doubts,
Is intolerant toward those without faith,²⁵¹¹

“Rejects the jewel of the sacred Dharma,
Repudiates the saṅgha, and is distracted,²⁵¹²
Naked, always unclean
And limited to unclean pursuits,

“Not discreet,²⁵¹³ not practicing the mantra,
Always impure, and devoid of compassion;
If one has a penchant for having sex
In the vicinity of temples and caityas

“Or in the courtyard of a monastery,
[Lord of] Wrath will destroy one.
Those who have broken their samaya, have no faith,
Do not know how to use the mantras,²⁵¹⁴

“Or stumble in their conduct somewhat—
[Lord of] Wrath will bring their ruin.
It is not possible to find in this human world
Anyone that is not careless.

“Women intoxicated with passion,
Tarnished by breaking their samayas,
Are killed by Lord of Wrath,
Along with the negligent practitioners of mantra.²⁵¹⁵

“All immature beings everywhere
Fall under the sway of others if they are careless.
Except for the pratyeka­buddhas, the arhats, and the śrāvakas
Who have extinguished their passions forever,

“All of them will be killed by Lord of Wrath
And punished in every respect.”
Being thus told by Mañjuśrī, with his mind filled with compassion,
The beings [in the assembly exclaimed,]

“Inconceivable are the acts of the buddhas
And the bodhisattvas of great power!”²⁵¹⁶
Having said this,
They all remained silent.
