大毘盧遮那成佛經疏 4.30

4.30

經云「祕密主！如是所說處所中，隨在一地治令堅固，取未至地瞿摩夷及瞿摸怛囉和合塗之，次以香水真言灑淨」者，如教所說，凡造漫荼羅，於七日內須畢。於最初日，阿闍梨當住大日如來自性，然後警發地神、嚴身方便，皆如供養次第中說。警發已，即用不動尊真言加護之，然後掘地如法擇治。彼應先掘中心一肘量，擇畢還復填之，若盈滿有餘為上地、如舊為中、不滿者為下。如是次第除諸過已，細治所掘之土稍稍填之，潤以牛液築令堅固，平正猶如手掌。次用瞿摩夷、瞿摸怛囉和合塗之。若淺略釋者，此是牛糞及液，為順彼方俗法以為清淨故。就祕密釋之，瞿是行義，以入阿字門故，則是諸法無行。摩是我義，夷則乘義。何故諸法無行？以一切法我不可得故。若無有我，則無所乘及與乘者，爾乃名為大乘也。瞿摸，義同前釋。怛囉，是如如離塵垢義，即是心之實相。若行者能如是淨治心地，則能畢竟清淨，離諸障礙也。凡擇地平治了，知其方分，即穿漫荼羅中心深一肘許，用成辨諸事真言。加持五寶、五穀、五藥安置其中，去垢辟除等皆如供養法中說。若深祕釋者，即是安立菩提心中五智之寶，能起五種善萠，滅除五種過患，故云五穀五藥也。如是安置了，更復淨塗使極平正，應取欲灌頂瓶貯以淨水，勿令大滿，插諸花果，中置五寶穀藥，於埋寶處置之。自第三日置瓶以後，當日日三時誦辨事真言一百八遍加持此瓶，然後作餘事業也。至第四日暮，次用香水真言加持香水，或一百八遍乃至千遍，然後灑淨。彼真言曰：

The sūtra says: "Lord of Secrets! In the locations explained as such, at whatever ground, prepare it to make it firm, take gomaya and gomūtra that have not touched the ground, mix and smear them, and next sprinkle it clean with the scented water mantra." As explained in the teachings, whenever constructing a maṇḍala, it must be finished within seven days. On the very first day, the ācārya should abide in the intrinsic nature of Mahāvairocana Tathāgata, and then alert the earth deity and adorn the body through upāya, all as explained in the sequence of offerings. Having alerted [the deity], he immediately uses the Acala mantra to protect it with adhiṣṭhāna, and then digs the earth to select and prepare it according to the rule. He should first dig one cubit at the center; having finished selecting, he fills it back in: if it overflows with an excess, it is superior ground; if it is as before, it is middling; if it does not fill, it is inferior. Having removed the various faults in this order, he finely prepares the excavated soil and fills it in little by little, moistens it with bovine liquid, and tamps it firm so that it is flat and level just like the palm of a hand. Next, he mixes gomaya and gomūtra to smear it. According to the shallow and brief explanation, these are cow dung and liquid, used to accord with the local custom of that region which regards them as pure. According to the secret explanation, *go* means practice; because of entering the syllable A gateway, all dharmas are devoid of practice. *Ma* means self, and *ya* means vehicle. Why are all dharmas devoid of practice? Because in all dharmas a self cannot be found. If there is no self, there is nothing to be conveyed and no conveyer; only then is it named the Great Vehicle. *Gomū* has the same meaning as previously explained; *tra* means tathatā free from dust and defilement, which is the dharmatā of the mind. If the practitioner can purify and prepare the mind-ground like this, it will be ultimately pure and free of all obstacles. Whenever having selected and leveled the ground, knowing its orientations, one pierces the center of the maṇḍala to a depth of about one cubit, and uses the mantra that accomplishes all matters to empower the five gems, five grains, and five medicines, and places them inside it; the removal of defilements, warding off, and so forth are all as explained in the ritual of offerings. According to the profound and secret explanation, this means establishing the jewels of the five wisdoms within the bodhicitta, which can sprout the five kinds of wholesome shoots and extinguish the five kinds of faults; hence they are called the five grains and five medicines. Having placed them like this, one smears it clean again to make it extremely flat and level; one should take the vase intended for consecration, fill it with pure water without letting it become completely full, insert various flowers and fruits, place the five gems, grains, and medicines inside, and set it at the place where the treasures are buried. After setting the vase on the third day, every day at the three times one should recite the mantra that accomplishes matters one hundred and eight times to empower this vase with adhiṣṭhāna, and then perform the remaining duties. On the evening of the fourth day, next empower the scented water with the scented water mantra, either one hundred and eight times or up to a thousand times, and then sprinkle it clean. That mantra says:
