大毘盧遮那成佛經疏 12.4

12.4

次明嚩字門，即是上va字，先明其體，後兼三昧之畫也。其想法，想此字純作白也，猶如雪山及牛乳等鮮明皎潔。先從臍以上想作白蓮花極白鮮明想，縛字純白色在於白花之上。成就已，即迴此字以作本尊也。此是息災之中最為第一也。其佛本尊亦作寂然之像，極寂之儀住於寂定。純白無比，同於秋夜月光也。彼漫荼羅當重圓，猶如九重月輪作之，作如霏微白雲霧狀而住其中。作此法成，一切煩惱熱等皆能止息。凡一切息災相應，皆此中作也。牛乳珠鬘同者，想此字中如上牛乳流水連滯不絕，猶如白珠而下灌注其心。或自或他若想此灌之，一切內外熱惱無不除也。或想如月或如水精，淨月之光普皆流注，凡有一切熱惱之患，以此注之皆除。一切扇底迦法與白色相應，此中作也。前阿字是金剛漫荼羅，此縛字名為水漫荼羅也。

Next, the syllable Va gateway is clarified, which is the syllable va mentioned above; its essence is explained first, and then the stroke of samādhi is included. Its method of visualization is to visualize this syllable as entirely white, just like snowy mountains, cow's milk, and the like, bright and pure. First, from the navel upward, visualize an extremely white and brilliant white lotus; visualize the syllable Va of pure white color situated atop the white flower. When accomplished, one turns this syllable to form the principal deity. This is the foremost among rites of pacification (śāntika). That Buddha as the principal deity also assumes a tranquil appearance, abiding in peaceful samādhi with an extremely serene deportment. Pure white without compare, like the moonlight on an autumn night. That maṇḍala should be concentric circles, formed like a ninefold lunar disc, inside which one abides as if within a subtle white mist. When this rite is accomplished, all defilements, fevers, and the like can be quelled. Whatever corresponds with pacification is performed within this. 'Alike to cow's milk and garlands of pearls' means visualizing within this syllable a flowing stream of milk as described above, uninterrupted, pouring down into the heart like white pearls. If visualized pouring down upon oneself or another, there are no internal or external torments that will not be eliminated. Or visualize it like the moon or crystal, the light of the pure moon flowing everywhere; whatever affliction of tormenting heat there may be, all are eliminated when poured over with this. All śāntika rites correspond with white and are performed within this. The preceding syllable A was the vajra maṇḍala; this syllable Va is named the water maṇḍala.
