Chapter 5: The Deity Consecration

第五章:本尊灌頂

5.1“Now I will present the deity consecration. First, the goddesses and the like perform the vase consecration, and the eight goddesses grant the ambrosia. After water to drink and water to cool one’s feet are offered and praises are made, [F.50.a] the vases are empowered with the mantra oṁ kalaśābhina­yanaṃ snānaṁ oṁ śūnyatādhiṣṭhite svāhā.

5.1「現在我將介紹本尊灌頂。首先,女神等進行寶瓶灌頂,八位女神施予甘露。在奉獻飲用水和足浴水並進行讚誦之後,[F.50.a]寶瓶以咒語『嗡 卡拉夏阿比納亞南 斯那南 嗡 舍尼亞答地希斯啼 娑婆訶』而被賦予力量。」

5.2“The goddesses, who are given the water consecration and the five ambrosias, will be filled with the six perfections. The goddesses will then let forth a rain of flowers. One will smell musk and sweet fragrances. Then one will be consecrated by Nārāyaṇa and the rest. One will be protected by all these deities’ samayas, and they will not abandon them even if it costs them their lives.”

5.2「受得水灌頂與五甘露的女神們,將充滿六波羅蜜。女神們隨後將降下花雨。人們將聞到麝香和甘美的香氣。之後,人們將被那羅延天等本尊灌頂。人們將受到所有這些本尊誓言的保護,他們即使付出生命的代價也不會拋棄人們。」

5.3Thus is the fifth chapter in The Tantra of Mahākāla, “The Deity Consecration.”
