3.37

This hundred-syllable mantra
is the mantra of the saviour of the world,
accomplishing great majesty,
the muni sovereign over dharmas,
dispelling all darkness of ignorance,
demolishing the citadel of ignorance,
universally manifesting like the sun disc
for the benefit of sentient beings.

having raised the beads and placed them on the crown of the head,
one then restores them to their original place,
binds the Mahāvairocana mudrā once again,
and enters the dharmadhātu samādhi. The practitioner arises from samādhi,
recites the root vidyā seven times,
again binds the five offerings,
[chants] the delightful, wondrous five praises,
offers argha fragrant water,
and shall make the five great vows. Then, binding the great samaya [mudrā],
revolving it to the left to effect the release of the boundary (sīmābandha),
one shall address the assembly of noble honored ones,
the Tathāgatas present before one,
the world-saving bodhisattvas,
and even the noble devas
who uninterruptedly [uphold] the Mahāyāna teaching
and have reached the supreme stages:
“May the assembly of noble devas
with certainty bear witness to me,
that to widely benefit all sentient beings
[this teaching] may long abide in the world.”
The Buddha spoke the adhiṣṭhāna phrase;
joining samādhi and prajñā into a vajra [añjali],
one touches all over the body in accordance with the vidyā,
reciting that secret mantra:
