bhṛikuṭī-sādhana

The Practice of Bhrikuti That Frowns

    I prostrate before Blessed Mother Bhrikuti!
    Based on the ritual explained earlier, do everything perfectly with the first eight on the three fifth syllables. When you do this, imagine what is being suppressed by emptiness. The goddess that arises from this essence, Bhrikuti. The hair is tied in a braid and knot [at the crown]. Peaceful, with four arms. With his right hands he [makes up the mudra] of the highest talent and [holds] a rosary for counting. In the left holds a staff and a vessel with ointment. Meditate on the lotus seat.
    Then connect the outstretched palms of both hands. Use your thumbs to press down on your pinky nails. When you separate [the rest], make up the rest in the form of a vajra. This is the mudra of the goddess Bhrikuti.
    Mantra:
    oṁ bhṛīṁ svāhā
    This ends the practice of Bhrikuti.
    Translated by Dhondup Dorje Tulku.

parṇa-śavarī-sādhana

The Practice of Parna-shavari

    I prostrate before the noble Parna-shavari!
    [Performing] the rituals that have been proclaimed earlier, meditate on emptiness. Then [imagine] the green syllable paṁ on the multi-colored lotus and the moon. [From it appears] Parna-shavari with a green body, three faces, three eyes [on each], six arms. The right and left faces are black and white. In three right hands he holds a vajra, an ax, an arrow. In his three left hands he holds a drawn bow, a branch and a lasso together [with the mudra] of a scorpion. The angry faces smile slightly. Young and young. She is entangled in garlands and possesses a skirt made of tiger skin. The belly hangs down slightly. Hair billows up. From below, he tramples under his feet all the diseases and the demon-Maru. The head is decorated with Amoghasiddhi. Immediately generating as yourself, recite the mantra:
    oṁ piśāci parṇa śavari sarva māri pra śamaṇi hūṁ phaṭ
    This is the end of the Parna-shavari practice.
    Translated by Dhondup Dorje Tulku.
