Summary
s.1The Glorious Sovereign Tantra of Mahākāla consists of a dialogue between Mahākāla and the Goddess on a broad range of topics including the consecration rites, deity generation practices, and rituals for attaining various siddhis associated with the deity Mahākāla. The opening section of the tantra focuses on topics related to the Unexcelled Yoga Tantras (yoganiruttaratantra, bla na med pa’i rgyud kyi rnal ’byor), such as how one generates the deity, how the consecration rites are performed, and how the advanced practitioner manipulates the vital winds of the subtle body to attain perfect spontaneous union as Mahākāla. The conversation then turns to ritual instructions for the attainment of siddhis as it integrates mastery of the two-stage union practices associated with the Unexcelled Yoga Tantras with those rituals more commonly associated with the Action Tantras (kriyātantra, bya ba’i rgyud) and Conduct Tantras (caryātantra, spyod pa’i rgyud).
s.1《大黑天續》是大黑天與女神之間的對話，涵蓋灌頂儀式、本尊生起次第以及與大黑天本尊相關的各種成就法儀的廣泛主題。該續經的開篇部分聚焦於無上瑜伽續的相關主題，如修行者如何生起本尊、灌頂儀式如何進行，以及進階修行者如何操縱身體微細脈風以證得大黑天的圓滿現成雙運。之後的對話轉向成就法儀的修學指導，將無上瑜伽續相關的兩階段雙運修習的精通融合了通常與作續和行續相關的那些儀軌。
