Vajrapāṇi asked: "For a bodhisattva of mantra practice, / after practicing for how many months / are the prohibitive precepts completed?" / The Bhagavat told him: "Excellent, diligent and courageous warrior! / You ask about the extraordinary precepts / that were therefore expounded by the Buddhas. / The precepts arising from vidyās: / abiding in the precepts like the Fully Enlightened One, / causes the attainment of siddhi, / for the benefit of the world. / Arising equally from reality itself, / constantly abiding in samāhita, / when practicing, the precepts will be completed. / Bodhicitta, karmas, and fruits / combine into a single mark, / far removed from all fabrications; / possessing precepts like the Buddha's wisdom, / anything different from this is not possessing precepts. / Attaining mastery over all phenomena, / penetratingly benefiting sentient beings, / constantly cultivating unattached conduct, / viewing gravel and jewels equally, / up to fulfilling a lakṣa. / The expounded teachings of mantras / conclude within the measure of months and so forth, / and the prohibitive precepts are completed. / Initially, at the golden wheel, / abiding in great Indra / and contemplating the syllable 'a', / one should form the vajra mudrā / and drink milk to sustain the body. / When the practitioner completes one month, / one can regulate the inhalation and exhalation of breaths. / Next, in the second month, / within the well-arrayed water wheel, / the wheel surrounds and forms nine tiers, / the color of moonlight on an autumn evening; / one should use the lotus mudrā / and ingest pure water. / Next, in the third month, / the contemplation of the supreme fire wheel, / a triangular wreath of majestic flames; / form the great wisdom sword mudrā, / consume food not sought after, / burning away all sins / and giving birth to body, speech, and mind. / In the fourth month, the wind wheel: / the practitioner constantly ingests wind, / forms the wheel-turning mudrā, / and collects the mind to recite. / The contemplation of the vajra-water wheel, / abiding in yoga, / this is the fifth month. / Far removed from attainment and non-attainment, / the practitioner has nothing to attain, / equal to sambodhi. / Combining the wind and fire wheels, / transcending all perils, / recite for another month; / this is called the sixth month, / also abandoning benefit and non-benefit. / The heavenly hosts such as Śakra and Brahmā / stand afar and pay homage, / all offering protection. / Deities of humans, devas, herbs, and plants! / Vidyādharas and various spiritual seers! / Flank in attendance and comply with instructions. / Rākṣasas and the Seven Mātṛkās! / All who create obstacles, / upon seeing the light of this place, / will scatter and flee like a fierce fire, / reverent and keeping their distance. / True sons of the Fully Enlightened One! / Attaining mastery in all things, / subduing those difficult to tame, / just like the great Vajradhara! / Profiting all living beings, / identical to Avalokiteśvara! / After six months have passed, / one achieves results according to one's wishes, / constantly showing compassion / and rescuing self and others. / Hold the rosary at the heart, / the rest as in Susiddhi. / For each of the mantras, / perform mental recitation; / inhalation and exhalation are two, / the first always corresponding. / Distributing the syllable 'a' through the limbs, / reciting to fulfill three lakṣas, / Samantabhadra, Mañjuśrī, / Vajradhara, and the noble devas / will appear directly and crown the head. / The practitioner bows the head in reverence / and quickly offers argha water, / mind-born fragrant flower garlands, / thereby obtaining purity of the body. / When the measured recitation is finished, / place the rosary in its original position, / only then entering samādhi; / after the duration of a meal, emerge from absorption. / Again form the root mudrā; / after repeating the mantra seven times, / next present the Space-Eye. / Offer incense, flowers, and the like, / delightful, wonderful gāthās, / argha, and vows, / reciting the world-saving adhiṣṭhāna, / causing the Dharma-eye path to pervade / and abide everywhere for a long time; / join the vajra palms, / touching the body all over following the vidyā."
