The Translation

[F.46.a]

1.1Homage to the Three Jewels.

Homage to Vajrapāṇi, the Great Lord of Yakṣas.

At that point, the vidyāmantra of Vajrakumāra was taught. The vajra holder taught this vidyāmantra that brings accomplishment, protects against any form of untimely death, tames all grahas, protects at all times, and averts.

1.3Protect me and all sentient beings! Protect us! Bring an end to all malevolent ones! hada ha ha hada. To all grahas! hūṃ hūṃ hūṃ hūṃ phaṭ phaṭ phaṭ dhaka dhaka kada ugkarupini paca paca. Drive away all malevolent female spirits! Avert them! apé apé Vajrakumāra, Vajrakumāra, expeller, destroyer of all epidemics, conqueror of all grahas! bhaṃja bhaṃja tama tama. Whoever slanders me. tadyathā sara sara daraya daraya. Those who transgress this averting vidyāmantra of Vajrakumāra, which impedes all grahas, [F.46.b] blazing Vajrakumāra will split their head into seven pieces! sphoṭaya sphoṭaya grasa cchinda cchinda.

1.4Should anyone else use a vidyāmantra on me, or curse me, or make someone else do so, it will be returned upon their body, and they will be the ones who burn! gagate acale ripe ripe prahara stambhani prahara saṃkamani. Protect my lifeforce! Protect it! Whoever hinders me will be brought to suffer in all the hells by means of the words of this vidyāmantra. sara sara sureṇaḍe sureṇaḍe. Female vajra messengers, restrain all opposing factions, restrain them! tadyathā mohani jambhani stambhani. If anyone transgresses this vidyāmantra that banishes all illness, it will become a poisonous snake.

1.5Whoever wears this vidyāmantra on their body, or recites it, will never be poisoned. Not even a single malevolent graha will transgress it. Not even a malevolent female spirit will transgress it. Merely by seeing it, they will be brought under control. All disputes and arguments will be won. The power of this vidyāmantra will liberate all! amṛte saṃbhava svāhā. Protect me! Protect me! Whether I am amidst all my enemies, or facing harm, or at a cemetery, or in a prison‍—may I never transgress this queen of vidyāmantras that banishes all dangers!

1.6When even the gods, together with worldly beings, the armies of māras, and Brahmā do not transgress this, what need even to speak of the evil spirits and grahas!

1.7This completes “The Dhāraṇī of Vajrapāṇi, the Yakṣa Lord.”
