Using charcoal from a cremation ground.
Then, one should step upon the [king’s] head with one’s foot
And recite the mantra angrily.

“All of a sudden the king will be seized
By various acute pains.
Overcome by a terrible disease,
He will die that very moment.

“He also may be struck with an axe
And, moreover, lose his limbs.
He may be eaten by nonhuman beings
Such as the cruel rākṣasas, kaśmalas,

“Kravyādas, pūtanas,
Piśācas, pretas, or mātṛs.
He may suddenly be attacked by them,
And even by his own servants.”

The glorious Vajradhara,²⁵⁷³
Having thus spoken to the assembly,
Bowed to all the buddhas
And then waited in silence.

For the sake of those who want to benefit the world,
He furthermore pronounced
The mantra²⁵⁷⁴ of all the hosts of yakṣas
And yakṣiṇīs everywhere.²⁵⁷⁵

Continuing with his talk,
The bodhisattva, the general of the yakṣas,
Then taught the section on the yakṣiṇīs²⁵⁷⁶
That contains all the [relevant] rites:
The summoning of anyone, the enthrallment,
And the removing of all physical afflictions.²⁵⁷⁷

When a mantra practitioner is looking for sex
And is blinded by passion or otherwise confused in his mind,
The Sugata’s prohibitive ordinances
Cannot possibly stop him.²⁵⁷⁸

Such people have already experienced intense suffering
In the cycle of births without beginning.
The tathāgatas taught that their [future] rebirth
Will take them from suffering to greater suffering.²⁵⁷⁹

A celibate person who has tamed his senses
Will obtain a pleasant rebirth,
Which is said to be good and auspicious.
Eventually, he will obtain peace.
Riding²⁵⁸⁰ the three vehicles with equanimity,
He will obtain nirvāṇa.

Those among the ascetics who, blinded by passion,
Do the opposite under the sway of bad inclinations,
Will wander in the terrible abyss of saṃsāra,
Following the five destinies.

It is for the sake of those who suffer [like this]
That the sensual enjoyments will be described.²⁵⁸¹
They will then have all their negativity extinguished,
Will turn away from the three faults, and,
Following the injunctions of the Teacher,
Will be released from all fetters.²⁵⁸²
