For the sake of gathering and protecting sentient beings, surrounded by countless multitudes,
Even up to hundreds of thousands of hands, holding various implements.

A crown with five Buddha chignons on his head, like a youthful form.
The samādhi hand holds a blue lotus, symbolising vajra wisdom above,
The prajñā hand grants fearlessness, or forms the wish-granting mudrā;
Compassionate countenance universally smiling, wondrous marks completely emitting light,
All around mutually illuminating.

Join circularly at the tips of the eight digits, the two spaces attached like a canopy.
Sarasvatī is Wondrous Voice: the prajñā wind finger holds space,
While samādhi rests upturned and extended at the navel, moving as if playing music;
This is named the Vīṇā mudrā. Viṣṇu is Nārāyaṇa:
Samādhi space pinches wind, circular like the wheel gesture.
His consort: wind placed on space. Next, to the north are the nāga assemblies,
And Skanda the youth, with six heads, riding a peacock.
Śaṅkara's trident mudrā: samādhi space touches earth.
His queen's mudrā: space holds earth; his consort's mudrā: three wheels opened.
South of the gate are the Candradeva assembly, surrounded by the deities of the lunar mansions,
Maheśvara and his consort. Cāmuṇḍā's samādhi palm
Upturned holds a kapāla. Candradeva's samādhi hand
Holds a white lotus with space and wind. For the lunar mansion mudrā, samādhi and prajñā join,
Space raised, fire-wheels crossed. For Anatikrama, samādhi fist,
Raised like a wing pointing upward; the prajñā fist extends the wind finger,
As if pointing at each other, raising the prajñā fist toward each other,
In a posture as if striking each other. For the two nāgas, left and right palms
Are placed upon each other alternately. For Vāyudeva's wind banner,
The prajñā fist raises earth and water. They are surrounded by their various retinues.

In the northeast is Īśāna, with his retinue of bhūtas and the like;
At the north gate is Vaiśravaṇa, along with mothers, grandmothers, and the like,
Śrīmahādevī, with male and female retinue and the like.
The characteristics of their mudrās shall now be spoken.
For Īśāna, make the samādhi fist,
Erecting the fire element against its back.
For Vaiśravaṇa, hollow-palmed añjali,
With both earth fingers crossing inside the palms,
The wind fingers erect and resting against the sides of the ether fingers,
Not touching by one inch.
Next, to the left, the Mahāyakṣa:
Interlace the samādhi and prajñā fingers internally into a fist,
Erect the water fingers and bend the two wind fingers.
For all yakṣiṇīs:
From the previous mudrā, extend the fire wheels,
With earth and ether fingers holding each other.
East of the gate is the piśāca:
Form an internal bind and extend the fire fingers.
Bend the fire wheels from that previous mudrā,
And that is called the piśācī mudrā.

The eight brother heavenly kings—
Four each to the west and east of the gate—
Share the practice of a single mantra (mudrā is obscure).
At the east gate is Deva Indra,
Dwelling on Mount Meru,
Adorned with a jeweled crown and necklaces,
Holding a single-pronged vajra mudrā in hand,
Naturally surrounded by the heavenly host.
To his left is placed the host of Sūryadeva,
In an eight-horse chariot,
With two consorts on his left and right:
Jayā and Vijayā,
Also called 'Victorious' and 'Invincible'.
His retinue deploys the planetary grahas:
Aṅgāraka on the left side,
Śukra in the east,
Budha in the south,
Bṛhaspati
Placed to the north of Sūrya,
Śanaiścara in the southeast,
Rāhu in the southwest,
Ketu [Kembha] in the northwest,
Ketu in the northeast.
To the south of the southern latitude is placed
The Nirghāta heavenly dog.
To the north of the northern latitude is placed
The Ulkāpāta fire.
Marīcī proceeds before them,
Flanked by attendants who guard him.
Brahmā is to the right of Indra.
The characteristics of their mudrās shall now be spoken:
Seated on a seven-swan chariot,
With four faces and a topknot crown,
Four hands: prajñā hand holds a flower,
Next prajñā hand holds a rosary,
Upper samādhi hand holds a kuṇḍikā,
Next lower hand slants the palm,
Bending the wind finger and extending the rest straight:
This is the pure-conduct auspicious mudrā,
Named the syllable Oṃ mudrā.
For Marīcī's treasure vase:
The samādhi hand forms an empty fist,
While the prajñā palm extends downward facing.
The gods of the Four Dhyānas are on the left;
The Anatapta gods of the Five Pure Abodes are on the right.
Indra's mudrā: internally bound fist,
With both wind fingers erect like vajras.
For Sūryadeva, place the merit and wisdom hands
Beside each respective water wheel,
Upturned in the shape of a chariot.
For Jayā and Vijayā:
With the prajñā and samādhi hands,
Wind and earth fingers back-to-back inward-facing,
Water and fire fingers mutually holding,
Tips of the samādhi and prajñā wheels joined,
And ether fingers erected, placed at the heart.
For the nine grahas: join the two hands,
Erecting the ether wheels side by side.
To the right of Indra is Brahmā's mudrā:
The samādhi ether finger holds the water finger,
Just as if holding a flower.
Place the samādhi wind finger atop the fire finger,
And hold the middle joint of the water finger with the ether finger:
This is the secret seal of the consort of Brahmā.
For Gandharva and Asura:
From the previous mudrā, internally bind the fist
And extend the water fingers: this is the Gandharva mudrā.
For Asura, using the wisdom hand,
Twist the wind finger atop the ether wheel.
