建立曼荼羅及揀擇地法 1.34

1.34

又須觀其土色與所求事相應方可建立。其土白色與息災成就相應；土若黃色堪為增益；土若青黑唯堪降伏；土若赤色即與鉤召、敬愛相應。餘如《蘇悉地》中廣說。

Furthermore, one must observe the color of the soil to see if it corresponds to the matter sought; only then may one establish it. If the soil is white, it corresponds to the accomplishment of pacification; if the soil is yellow, it is fit for enrichment; if the soil is bluish-black, it is fit only for subjugation; if the soil is red, it corresponds to summoning and magnetizing. The rest is as expounded at length in the Susiddhi.
