Chapter 21: Guaranteeing Siddhi
第二十一章：成就的保證
21.1The Blessed One continued, “ Goddess , the goddess I embrace is a woman with the complete set of all characteristics. She is the one who accomplishes bliss on this earth.”
21.1世尊繼續說道：「女神啊，我所擁抱的女神是一位具備了一切完整特徵的女人。她就是在這個世界上成就樂的那一位。」
21.2“Blessed One,” the Goddess replied, “On which day can one attain siddhi?”
21.2「世尊，」女神回答說，「在哪一天能夠獲得成就呢？」
21.3“Listen Goddess ,” the Blessed One replied, “it is the day that ensures success for the practitioner. In this case, practitioners will surely attain the eight siddhis if they perform the practice on the eighth day of the waning moon during the lunar month of Māgha as it occurs in Jambudvīpa. Let there be no doubt about this. A person who performs the sādhana on the fifth day of the lunar month of Vaiśākha will quickly gain accomplishment. If one performs it on the fourteenth day of the waning moon during the lunar month of Śrāvaṇa, one will attain the great siddhi, and likewise during the lunar month of Kārtika.
21.3「聽著，女神，」世尊回答說，「這是確保修行者成功的日子。在這種情況下，修行者如果在贍部洲摩迦月的下弦月第八天進行修行，必定會獲得八種成就。對此不要有任何疑問。一個人如果在毗沙迦月的第五天進行成就法，就會迅速獲得成就。如果在舍羅瓦那月的下弦月第十四天進行修行，就會獲得大成就，同樣地在迦爾迪克月也是如此。」
21.4“Statues, texts, and paintings should be started on the eleventh day of the waxing moon during the lunar month of Āśvin. The yogin who makes them should also consecrate them on that day, because blessings are sure to enter them.
21.4「雕像、經文和繪畫應該在阿什溫月上弦月的第十一天開始製作。製作它們的瑜伽士也應該在那一天對它們進行開光，因為加持必然會進入其中。」
21.5“One can make use of blood, the five meats and the like, alcohol, various types of meat, food, drink, and whatever else one wishes. All siddhis will be received.”
21.5「可以使用血液、五種肉等物，以及酒、各種肉類、食物、飲料，還有任何其他所願之物。所有成就都將被獲得。」
21.6This is chapter twenty-one in The Glorious Sovereign Tantra of Mahākāla, “Guaranteeing Siddhi.”
