The mere seeing of the colored powder僅僅看到彩色粉末
Quickly brings about the attainment of buddhahood,迅速帶來佛果的成就。
As one progresses through the stages of perception of the maṇḍala.隨著對壇城的知覺逐漸經歷各個階段而進展。
That shall now be explained correctly.現在將正確地解釋這一點。
Four-sided and with four doors,四方形的，有四道門，
It is adorned with four arches.它由四個拱門裝飾而成。
In its center one should place the goddess,在其中心應該安置女神，
In a bhaga form of good color.具有良好顏色的陰處形態。
In the east an arrow should be drawn;在東方應當繪製一支箭；
And in the south, a bow;在南方，一支弓；
In the west, a hand of fearlessness,在西方，一隻無畏的手。
And in the north, an utpala.在北方則是青蓮花。

The disciple should enter there.弟子應當進入其中。
4.5At this point the sattvavajrī mudrā should be displayed, a flower should be offered to the circle, and the words “praticcha vajra hoḥ” be spoken. Then, as the cover is removed, the maṇḍala is to be revealed. In the best case, the flower has fallen in the center. If it has fallen on the arrow, the student will be capable of performing the acts of enthrallment. If it has fallen on the giver of fearlessness, the student should study the removal of poison. If it has fallen on the utpala, it is the development of insight that should be studied. And if it has fallen on the bow, omniscient wakefulness is to be pursued.
4.5此時應展示有情金剛手印，向壇城獻花，並說出「嗡金剛」的言語。隨後，當覆蓋物被移除時，壇城就會被揭示。最好的情況是花落在中心。如果花落在箭上，弟子將具備執行攝召法的能力。如果花落在賜予無畏者上，弟子應該學習解毒。如果花落在青蓮花上，應該研究勝智的開發。如果花落在弓上，應該追求遍知的覺醒。
At the time of the entry, the following should be declared: “You must not speak of this supreme secret of all the thus-gone ones in front of anyone who has not entered this maṇḍala. Your samaya vow would definitely degenerate. Having failed to avoid the distressful, you would certainly die and fall into hell.”
進入的時候，應該宣說如下的內容：「你不得在沒有進入這個壇城的人面前談論一切如來的這個至高秘密。你的誓言戒必定會退失。如果沒有迴避苦難，你必定會死亡並墮入地獄。」
After that the samayas are to be given with the words, “The Three Jewels must never be abandoned…,” and so forth, just as it is extensively taught in the tantra. The oath is to be administered with the following words:
之後應當以「三寶永遠不能捨棄……」等語言授予誓言，正如在密續中所廣泛教導的那樣。應當以下列語言來進行誓戒的宣誓：

namo ratnatrayāya. namaḥ sarvabuddhabodhisattvebhyaḥ. namo ˈṣṭasarpapudgalāya. namaḥ samastebhyo buddhakoṭibhyaḥ.. tadyathā. oṁ hrīḥ hrīḥ hrīḥ sarvanāgānām anantakulānāṃ vāsukikulānāṃ takṣakakulānāṃ śaṅkhapālakulānāṃ karkoṭakulānāṃ padmakulānāṃ mahāpadmakulānāṃ kulikakulānāṃ varāhakulānāṃ puṇḍarīkakulānāṃ ghanakulānāṃ meghakulānāṃ jaladakulānāṃ jaladharakulānāṃ jīmūtakulānāṃ saṃvartakulānāṃ vasantakulānāṃ airāvatakulānāṃ kumudakulānāṃ kahlārakulānāṃ saugandhikakulānāṃ hana hana śareṇa bandha bandha cāpena tāḍaya tāḍaya utpalena bhītānām abhayaṃ dehi pralayakāla iva jaladhāram avatāraya varṣaṃ [F.38.b] tān nāgān vaśīkuru kuru phuḥ kulāpaya kulāpaya phuḥ phuḥ, oṁ kurukulle hrīḥ hūṁ phaṭ svāhā phaṭ
With this mantra, one should draw the maṇḍala with gaur dung. As prescribed, one should draw an eight-petaled lotus with sandalwood paste and place on its petals, starting from the eastern one, Ananta and the others—the eight nāgas—using candied sugar and bdellium. When the moon is in the Rohiṇī lunar house, one should perform a hundred and eight recitations, offer incense to the nāgas, and make offerings. If it does not begin to rain, they should be washed with wine and tormented with the fire of khadira wood. Doing this will bring rain. However, if the nāgas do not send rain, leprosy will break out.
用這個咒語，應該用牛糞畫出壇城。按照規定，應該用檀香膏畫一朵八瓣蓮花，並在蓮花的花瓣上放置，從東邊的花瓣開始，放置阿難陀和其他七位——這八條龍王——使用糖果和沒藥。當月亮在羅喜尼星宿時，應該進行一百零八次持誦，向龍王獻香並進行供養。如果還沒有開始下雨，就應該用葡萄酒沖洗它們，並用鐵樹木的火焰來折磨它們。這樣做會帶來雨水。但是，如果龍王不降雨，就會爆發癩病。
4.28This is to be carried out by a knowledge holder who is a performer of rites. Afterward, they should be gathered and released in a great river.
4.28這應由成就者（具有執行儀式能力的人）來進行。之後，應該將龍王聚集起來並將其放生到大河中。
“May the gods send rain「願諸天降下雨水
And may the crops be excellent.願人民繁榮昌盛，願莊稼長得茂盛。
May the people prosper願人民繁榮昌盛
And the king be in accord with the Dharma.”並且國王要遵循法。
Thus one should perform the dedication.如此應當進行迴向。
One who wishes to stop excessive rainfall should obtain a snake from a snake charmer, anoint it with sandalwood paste, and feed it milk. One should pronounce this mantra over it seven times, put it in a red, unbaked jar, and seal it with the great seal. Breaking the vase will make the rain stop immediately.
希望停止過度降雨的人應該從馴蛇人那裡獲得一條蛇，用檀香膏塗抹它，並餵它牛奶。應該對著它念誦這個咒語七次，把它放在紅色的未燒製的罐子裡，並用大封印密封它。打破罐子會立即使雨停止。
Later, one should offer a feast for the gathering,後來，應該為集會眾生舉辦盛宴供養。
Or make offerings to the saṅgha of listeners,或者向聲聞僧伽進行供養，
And give food and drink to boys and girls.並給予男孩和女孩食物與飲料。
Doing this will delight the nāgas.這樣做會使龍王感到歡喜。
If, when it rains,如果在下雨時，
One does not do this如果不這樣做
The nāgas will be displeased龍王將會不悅
And so one will contract leprosy.這樣就會感染麻風病。
4.30The king, along with his sons and queens, should bathe on the fifth day of the waning moon. They should obtain the root of pratyaṅgirā, blend it with milk or ghee, and having poured it into a silver dish, they should drink it. If the dish is offered to an ordained monk there will not be any danger from snakes for one year. Moreover, if, because of its unvirtuous actions, [F.39.a] a snake does bite, the snake itself will die. Success comes with seven repetitions of the mantra.
4.30國王與他的兒子和皇后們應當在虧月的第五天沐浴。他們應當獲得逆女天的根部，將其與牛奶或酥油混合，倒入銀盤中，然後飲用。如果將盤子供奉給受具足戒的僧人，一年內就不會有蛇咬的危險。而且，如果因為蛇的不善業行為而被咬，蛇本身會死亡。透過念誦咒語七次就能成就。
Also, if one wishes to cure leprosy, one should, by means of this very mantra, neutralize a poison and then ingest it. This will cure leprosy.
同樣地，如果想要治療麻風病，應該用這個咒語來化解毒物，然後食用它。這樣就能治癒麻風病。
If one recites the root mantra over water, and then uses that water to wash the wound from a snake bite, that will remove the poison.
如果念誦根本咒語加持水，然後用那水洗淨蛇咬的傷口，就能夠清除毒素。
Moreover, if one wishes to see nāgas, one should pronounce the mantra upon a red utpala petal one hundred thousand times for each of its syllables. The petal should then be tossed into a pond, or the like, that is inhabited by nāgas and blessed. This will make the females of the nāgas tremble. They will request orders from the practitioner: “What shall we do, O lord?” The practitioner of mantra should then request what he wishes.
而且，如果想要見到龍王，應當在紅色的青蓮花花瓣上念誦咒語，每個音節要重複十萬次。然後將花瓣拋入有龍王居住且已受加持的池塘等地方。這樣會使龍王的女眷感到震動。她們會向修行者請求指示說：「尊貴的主人，我們該怎麼做？」咒語的修行者就可以提出他所希望的要求。
