bhṛikuṭī-sādhana

The practice of Bhriruti, who frowns

    I prostrate myself before the noble Bhrikuti!
     [Performing] the rituals that were proclaimed earlier, here in my own heart, in the middle of the moon, [imagine] as a seed the fourth of the sixth [row], the eighth of the first. [When composed] it is pressed down with the symbol of perfect emptiness. The head is adorned with half of the moon.
     From it emerges Bhrikuti with a yellow body and four arms. Peaceful, she possesses a diadem made of braids. The right arms [form the mudra] of supreme giving and hold prayer beads for counting. The left hands hold a staff and a bowl for water. Meditate on what is on the seat of the lotus and the moon.
     Then compose the mudra. Extend both hands and press your thumbs on your little fingers. The remaining [fingers] appear as vajra. This is the mudra of Bhrikuti.
    Later, recite the mantra:
    oṁ bhṛiṁ svāhā
    This concludes the practice of Bhrikuti.
