The Mother of the Vajra Family
金剛部之母
12.1Mañjuśrī again asked the Blessed One, “How is the mother who gives birth to all buddhas also the mother who is the essential identity of the five families?”
12.1文殊菩薩再次問薄伽梵：「生育一切佛陀的母親，怎樣也是五部本質身份的母親？」
The Blessed One explained, “Mañjuśrī, the mother of the vajra family has four faces and eight hands, is the color of a conch, and is in the prime of youth. Her four faces are white, black, red, and yellow. Her head is marked by the five families, and she has three eyes. Her four right hands hold a vajra, an arrow, and a short spear, while the lowermost hand is in the boon-granting gesture. In her left hands she holds an utpala flower, a bow, and a vajra hook, and she wields a lasso while making the threatening gesture. She sits in the vajra posture and is of dharmakāya nature.
薄伽梵說道：「文殊菩薩，金剛部之母有四張臉孔和八隻手臂，膚色如海螺般潔白，正值青春年華。她的四張臉孔分別是白色、黑色、紅色和黃色。她的頭部有五部的標記，擁有三隻眼睛。她的四隻右手分別持著金剛杵、箭、短矛，最下方的手結施願印。她的左手持著烏鈀羅花、弓和金剛鉤，同時揮舞著套索並做出威嚇手勢。她以金剛坐姿安坐，具有法身的本質。」
12.2“Mañjuśrī, this is her mantra:
12.2「文殊菩薩，這是她的真言：
“namo ratna-trayāya | nama ārya-jñāna-sāgarāya | akṣobhya-vyūha-rājāya | tathāgatāya | arhate samyak-sambuddhāya | nama āryāvalokiteśvarāya | bodhisattvāya | mahāsattvāya | mahā-kāruṇikāya | tadyathā | oṁ tāre ture tuttāre svāhā. [F.212.a]
（咒語不翻）
“With this, the entire vajra family makes offerings of flowers, lamps, scented water, and fine foods.
用此真言，整個金剛部獻上花、燈、香水和精美的食物作為供養。
12.3“Mañjuśrī, her rite is as follows. Mold a wax effigy of whoever is the target, and insert into the effigy’s heart the expelling substances—the flesh of a crow and owl—together with the name, and then recite this mantra:
12.3「文殊菩薩，她的儀軌如下。用蠟塑造目標人物的形象，將驅逐物質——烏鴉和貓頭鷹的肉——連同姓名一起放入形象的心臟，然後誦持這個真言：」
“oṁ amukam me vaśam ānaya svāhā.
（咒語不翻）
12.4“If you recite this and then hide the effigy in the northwest, Mañjuśrī, the target will meet with conflict and division and flee elsewhere.”
12.4「文殊菩薩，如果你持誦此真言，然後把蠟像藏在西北方，目標的人就會遭遇爭執分裂，逃往他處。」
12.5This was the twelfth chapter, “The Mother of the Vajra Family.”
