Chapter 1: The Introduction
第一章：序分
1.2Thus did I hear at one time. At the southeastern charnel ground Aṭṭahāsa, in the sandalwood grove called Joyous, the vināyaka Glorious Mahākāla was present in the palace where a multitude of male and female nonhuman beings gathered. At the time, in the midst of a retinue of cruel beings, he was known as “Mahākāla Who Controls the Life Breath of Living Beings.” [F.199.b]
1.2我曾如是聽聞。在東南方的屍陀林阿吒吒，有一片名為喜樂林的檀香林中，障礙者光榮大黑天住在一座宮殿裡，那裡聚集了眾多的男性和女性非人類的眾生。當時，在一群殘暴眾生的眷屬之中，他以「統御眾生生命息的大黑天」而聞名。
1.3At the same time, in the western world system, the King of Horses, Bringer of Death, was surrounded by an assembly of the Four Great Kings and the rest. He entered the absorption that tames arrogant beings while using the hook mudrā and reciting the mantra oṃ vajrakrodha hayagrīva hūṁ hulu hulu hūṁ vaṃ. Powerless to do otherwise, Mahākāla appeared before the King of Horses, Bringer of Death, from his abode in the Aṭṭahāsa charnel ground.
1.3與此同時，在西方世界系統中，馬王死亡使者被四大天王等眾多天王所包圍。他進入了馴服傲慢眾生的三摩地，同時使用鉤子手印並誦讀咒語「嗡金剛忿怒馬頭明王吽呼嚕呼嚕吽嗡」。大黑天無法違抗，從阿吒吒屍陀林的住所現身於馬王死亡使者的面前。
1.4“What can I do for you?” he asked, and politely offered his own mark, the essence of his life force, oṃ vajramahākāla kṣiṃ kṣetravighnān vināyaka hūṁ hūṁ phaṭ.
1.4「我能為你做什麼？」他問道，並恭敬地獻上自己的標記——他生命力的精髓，咒語為「嗡金剛大黑天克希母領域障礙者吽吽啪」。
