aṣṭa-śmaśāna-nāma

Eight cemeteries

     I prostrate before the glorious Heruka!
     O glorious hero, Heruka! You are beautiful with co-born joy! You grant a special fruit of food and liberation! I extend to the lotus feet of the guru-teacher!
     The graveyard tree, the direction protector, the naga, the water-scattering [clouds] - are in the classification of names and directions. I'll write it down for remembrance.
     In the directions such as east on the left, etc., and in the directions of north-east on the right-inside the vajra tent there are connections of four and four [directions]. They are the essence of Gahara, the highest of the fierce, and possess a kapala with a seething flame.
     Absolutely terrifying indeed are, starting from the east direction and further to the left. To the northeast is Attahasa. In the [direction] of the southeast - Laksha. In the direction of the southwest-a frightening darkness. In the northwest, it sounds like Kilikila. In the graveyards inside the vajra tent, the terrifying forms of the living dead, bhuta, and the terrible sounds of jackals are heard.
     In this sequence of such [manifestations], eight cemeteries are a place. What is the tree, the protector of direction, the lord of the nagas, the lord of the rain cloud? Shirasha, ashwadha, kamkelle, chuta tree. In the intermediate [directions], as above, karanja, Indra, Vaisravana. From the side of the Naga lords [appear] Lord Yama. From the northeast, Lord Agni, Lord Rakshasa, and Lord of wind. [also appear sequentially] Vasukira, Taksaka, Karkotaka, Padma, Mahapadma, Huluhulu, Kulika, and Shankhapala.
     Garji, Ghurmito, Ghora, Apato, Ghana, Parhana, Purana, Chanda are the lords of the rain clouds.

hevajra-stotra

Hymn to Hevajra

    Everything [in your manifestation] is the supreme nature of matter! Initially, everyone [appears] as a Tathagata! You possess the essence as the essence of non-duality! I prostrate and praise to Hevajra!
    The blue [face] is the unchanging dharmata! Red is an unstoppable flow of compassion! As the [hair] rises up, you lead the creatures! I prostrate and praise to Heruka!
    The three eyes are the three perfect liberations! Since red is the essence of the strata and dharmata! The sound of hūṁ does not appear as born! I prostrate and praise to the chief among all!
    In the right [hand] is the vajra that destroys the poison [creatures]! In the left [hand] dripped that keeps the bliss! The symbol of wisdom is the khatwang wand! I prostrate and praise to sambhogakaya!
    Kapala - the matter of the five primordial wisdoms! Five mudras — five families! Garlands and necklaces discard the composite! I prostrate and praise to you, nirmanakaya!
    Your lotus seat is not obscured by obscurations! The corpse of Brahma has no thoughts! The sun-burns ignorance! I prostrate myself and praise to the body that is not covered with dirt!
    So it ends.

Talks about the acquisition of siddhi by a woman

     The husband of a Bhamgala woman appeared after death as a hungry spirit. Because of this, grasping at the self, he constantly came and came to the merchant in the eastern direction as a certain merchant from the central country. When I stopped there, the maid washed my feet. When they were associated with ablution and prompting, they began to remain in the usual practice of meditation and recitation of the six syllables for the harvest. Since the hungry buh couldn't appear there to go inside, he later said "Kulu kulu". Such sounds were spoken when coming out of the lord of merchants.
     The woman saw this and, having conceived wisdom, showed reverence and service to the lord of merchants. And she said: "I ask for training for myself!" Saying, I began to practice and then said about the release from this.
     Vinayashri translated [the story] about the attainment of realization by a woman.
     Translated by Lama Karma Paljor (O. E. Filippov).
