Introduction
1.1Oṁ, homage to Caṇḍamahāroṣaṇa!
Thus did I hear at one time. Lord Vajrasattva dwelt within the bhaga of the goddess of the Vajra Realm , which is the essence of body, speech, and mind of all tathāgatas. He dwelt there together with many hosts of vajra yogins and yoginīs, namely: White Acala vajra yogin, Yellow Acala vajra yogin, Red Acala vajra yogin, Green Acala vajra yogin, Delusion Vajrī vajra yoginī, Calumny Vajrī vajra yoginī, Passion Vajrī vajra yoginī, and Envy Vajrī vajra yoginī. He dwelt there with trillions of yogins and yoginīs, headed by those just mentioned.
我是這樣聽說的。金剛薩埵主尊住在金剛界女神的蓮花中，這蓮花是一切如來身、語、意的本質。他與眾多金剛瑜伽士和瑜伽女的眷屬住在一起，即：白不動金剛瑜伽士、黃不動金剛瑜伽士、紅不動金剛瑜伽士、綠不動金剛瑜伽士、癡金剛母金剛瑜伽女、誹謗金剛母金剛瑜伽女、貪欲金剛母金剛瑜伽女、以及嫉妒金剛母金剛瑜伽女。他與以上述者為首的千兆瑜伽士和瑜伽女一起住在那裡。
1.2Then Lord Vajrasattva, having entered the absorption of Black Acala, spoke:
1.2隨後，金剛薩埵尊主進入黑不動的三摩地，開示道：
“Freed from existence and nonexistence,「解脫於存在與不存在，
Solely devoted to the four joys,唯一專注於四喜樂，
I am naturally without mental elaboration我本性中自然沒有心所造作
And devoid of all mental constructs.且遠離一切心識構造。
“I am endowed with five forms我具備五形
In order to benefit the fools為了利益那些愚癡的人
Who don’t know me as present不認識我就在眼前的那些人
In the body of every man.”在每個男人的身體中。
1.4Then the blessed goddess of the Vajra Realm , having entered the absorption of Hatred Vajrī, said this:
1.4那時金剛界的殊勝女神，進入嗔怒金剛女的三摩地，說道：
“Inseparable from emptiness and compassion,「與空性和悲心不可分離，
Abiding in pleasure with divine lust,安住於天樂的喜悅之中，
Devoid of all mental constructs am I,我遠離一切心識構造，
Free from mental elaboration and undistracted.遠離心所造作，心念不散亂。
“I am endowed with five forms「我具足五形
In order to benefit those women為了利益那些女性
Who don’t know me as present不認識我的存在的人
In the body of every woman.”在每一位女性的身體中。
1.6The lord Black Acala deeply kissed and firmly embraced Hatred Vajrī, [F.305.a] and said:
