1.1
I take refuge in the fully perfected, pure dharmakāya, the all-illuminating gnosis of Vairocana! / His eyes of light of wondrous awakening open and expand, broad and long like petals of the blue lotus. / Now, relying on the sūtras, I succinctly explain the method of siddhi for benefiting oneself and benefiting others, / The sequential upāya practices of mantra, the supreme and wondrous gate that inspires faith and understanding: / First cause one's own mind to be free of defilement; contemplate the Buddhas appearing before one; / Clearly imagine oneself being in their presence; devoutly scatter wondrous incense and flowers / And various supreme and wondrous adornments; gaze reverently upon the iṣṭadevatā's vidyā-mudrā teachings, / Single-mindedly and reverently paying homage.

By means of this true word of paying homage, one can immediately pay homage everywhere to the Buddhas of the ten directions! / Place the right knee on the ground, join the hands with crossed palms, and contemplate and confess past transgressions: / "From accumulated ignorance, my three karmas of body, speech, and mind have committed various offenses; / Because greed, anger, and delusion covered my mind, against the Buddha, the true Dharma, the holy Sangha, / Parents, the two teachers, spiritual friends, and in the presence of limitless sentient beings, / Throughout beginningless transmigration in birth and death, I have committed utterly grave and boundless sins; / Facing directly before the present Buddhas of the ten directions, I confess them all and will never repeat them."

"The jewel of the supreme vow of pure bodhicitta I now arouse to rescue the multitude of beings, / Whose bodies are bound by the accumulation of the suffering of birth and the like, and harmed by ignorance; / Rescuing, gathering, and taking refuge, I cause them to be liberated, and shall constantly benefit all conscious beings."

As soon as this mudrā is bound, it can purify the Tathāgata ground; / The earth-pāramitā is perfected, fulfilling the path of the three dharmadhātus. / Next bind the dhvaja of secret wisdom born of the dharmadhātu; / To purify body, speech, and mind, move it around all parts of the body.
1.32
Its mantra is:
1.34

Method of the Secret Maṇḍala of the Mudrā and Dhvaja of the Bodhi-Banner of the Mahāvairocanābhisaṃbodhi-sūtra, Chapter 1
1.54
At that time, the Bhagavat again proclaimed the udāna on the method of entering the secret maṇḍala, saying:
1.55
"The universal practitioner of mantras, who has penetrated the secret altar, / Burns away all sins for his disciples according to the Dharma. / Their lifespan is completely incinerated, causing it not to arise again; / Once it is reduced to ashes, that lifespan is restored. / That is to say, burning syllables with syllables, being reborn on account of syllables, / All lifespans up to the point of being entirely pure and without defilement. / Using twelve-branch phrases to make that vessel, / Such samaya is not opposed by / All Tathāgatas, the bodhisattva world-saviours, the Buddha's śrāvaka assembly, / Down to all the worldly realms. / Understanding this pledge of equality and the secret maṇḍala, / One enters all doctrinal teachings and achieves mastery in all altars. / My body is equal to that [maṇḍala], and so is the mantrin; / Because they are not different, it is called samaya. / Contemplate the syllable 'RA' before you, namely, a garland of flames of pure light, / Bright as the brilliance of the morning sun. Recalling the real meaning of the sound, / It can eliminate all hindrances and liberate from the defilements of the three poisons; / All dharmas are likewise so. First purify the ground of one's own mind, / And then purify the ground of the bodhimaṇḍa, completely eliminating all faults; / Its characteristics are like empty space. As it is supported by the vajra, / This ground is also like that. Abiding in the yoga of the iṣṭadevatā, / Add the syllables of the five branches, meditating in samāhita: / One is instantly equal to the Muni! The syllable 'A' is completely golden in color, / Used as the vajra-cakra, empowering the lower body; / It is called the yoga seat. The syllable 'VAṂ' has the light of a white moon, / Located in a cluster of mist, empowering above one's navel; / It is named the great compassion water. The syllable 'RAṂ' has the radiance of the morning sun, / Red, located in a triangle, empowering the position of the original heart; / It is named the wisdom fire-light. The syllable 'HAṂ' is the blaze of the disaster at the end of the kalpa, / Black, located in the wind-cakra, empowering the place between the white eyebrows; / It is called the sovereign power. The syllable 'KHA' with the anusvāra / Is visualized as transforming into all colors, empowering the crown of the head; / Therefore it is called the great void. Adorning the body with the five syllables, / Majestic power blazes like a torch, extinguishing all sinful karmas. / Obstructing māras of heaven, seeing the radiant vajra, / The hundred-light king on the head, with undefiled eyes established, / View the body as identical to the Tathāgata! Again, recite the verse of fulfillment:
1.57
"Establishing the receptacle world, space and wind are at the very bottom. / Next contemplate fire, water, and earth. This cakra is identical to vajra, / Named Great Indra, its pure golden radiant light / Universally flowing forth everywhere." At that time, the Bhagavat, / Observing the great assembly, addressed the Guhyakādhipati, saying: / "There are the dhvajas of the dharmadhātu, by which the body is adorned; / Transmigrating through birth and death, in the great assembly of the Tathāgatas, / With the dhvaja of the bodhi-banner, all devas, nāgas, and yakṣas / Reverently receive the teachings. The first mudrā is the Buddha's samādhi; / The dharmadhātu and the Dharmacakra; the Śaṅkha refuge-añjali, / Bending the wind-wheel with the space-wheel added; the Dharma conch with hollow palms joined, / The wind-wheel twisting above the space-wheel; the auspicious wishing lotus; / The vajra great wisdom mudrā; the mahā-Tathāgata uṣṇīṣa; / The wisdom fist and the repository of the ūrṇā; the yoga bowl-holding sign; / Extending the wisdom hand upward is named bestowing fearlessness; / Hanging downward is named fulfilling wishes; the wisdom fist extending fire and water, / The wise one forms the Buddha Eye; the inner-clasp wind-wheel noose; / The heart mudrā extending the fire-wheel; extending water is the Tathāgata navel; / Inner clasp extending the wisdom-water is called the Tathāgata waist. / Practice the mantras according to the sequence."

It is perfectly square in form, encircled by vajra mudrās;
all of an exquisite golden color, with a blooming lotus at the center.
Upon the terrace appears a kalaśa, radiant and colored like a pure moon,
and also adorned completely around with the great anusvāra.
Above it indicates the great wind mudrā, billowing like dark clouds,
with the appearance of stirring banners and pennants, marked by the anusvāra.
Above it fierce flames arise, equal to the fire at the destruction of an aeon,
forming a triangle, encircled by a triangle.
A garland of light spreads all around, the color of the morning sun's rays;
therein is a padma, crimson like the fire of an aeon's end.
Above it the vajra mudrā scatters and emits radiant flames,
sustained by the sound of the syllable 'Hūṃ', the supremely excellent seed-syllable.
The former Buddha declared: 'This is your diligent and heroic maṇḍala,
the multitude of wrathful Vajradharas.' Next, deployed first in the east,

A single-pronged sharp wisdom [pestle], the inner fist extending the wind-wheel (with the thumb tucked in);
to the left is placed Śaṅkhara. Holding the vajra chain!
Together with all the messengers of her own kula, her body is light yellow,
with the wisdom pestle as her insignia; the four wheels crossed behind the back,
revolving wisdom and adding concentration, beneath the Vajradharas.
The wrathful Trailokyavijaya! The one who subdues great obstacles,
named the Venerable Candra-tilaka! Three eyes and four fangs appear,
the color of summer rainclouds, with a resounding 'a-ṭa-ṭa' laugh.
Adorned with vajra-jeweled necklaces, for the purpose of gathering and protecting sentient beings,
surrounded by immeasurable multitudes, with up to a hundred thousand hands,
all holding various implements. Such wrathful deities as these!
All abide within lotuses, the two thumbs opening to hold the wind-fingers
(similar to the five-pronged mudrā, slightly not touching). All Vajradharas holding the earth!
The inner-bound vajra fist (both thumbs upright side by side, both elbows close and slightly raised, like the shape of a hammer).
Wrathful Kuṇḍalī! Glistening like green crystal,
with majestic radiance like the aeon's fire, blazing with his back to the sun disc,
with knitted brows and a wrathfully smiling face, tiger fangs protruding above and below,
a thousand unblinking eyes, intensely brilliant like the sun,
a thousand hands each wielding various vajra weapons.
His head is crowned with vajra jewels! Serpent necklaces and a tiger-skin skirt,
he abides within a moon disc, seated on a lapis-lazuli rock.
Wrathful and swift Kumāra! Abiding upon a blue lotus,
his body is golden in color, his hair red and disheveled upward,
adorned with necklaces and armlets, wearing a tiger skin across his hips.
Wisdom hand holding a pestle, concentration hand granting fearlessness! As soon as he holds the mantra phrase,
transformed Buddhas emerge from his mouth. Next, Ucchuṣma!
Appearing in a greatly wrathful form, black in color with rising radiant flames.
The right hand holds a sword, below a lasso! Uplifting a three-pronged spear,
his weapons all burst into flames. The Vajradharas who attend commands,
these and other leaders, as numerous as dust motes in ten Buddha realms,
are assembled together with the host of Vajradharas."

gazing intently with one eye, fiercely enraged with a body of fierce flames,
abiding firmly upon a rock, his face marked by ripples of water,
possessing the full form of a youth, with the radiant fire-realm mudrā.
The wrathful venerable one of the wind quarter! The so-called Vijayatrailokya!
Surrounded by fierce flames. Wearing a jeweled crown and holding a vajra (five-pronged)!
Disregarding his own life, he single-mindedly requests and receives instructions.
To the right of Prajñā is placed Yamāntaka, the King of Majestic Wrath!
Seated upon a blue buffalo, wielding various weapons,
