mahābala-sādhana

The Practice of Mahabala

    I prostrate myself before Mahabala, king of the wrathful ones!
    Performing] the rituals that were proclaimed earlier, at the end of [meditation on] emptiness, on a white lotus and the Sun [appears] the syllable hūṁ. From it arises Mahabala with one face and four arms. His entire body is red. Red-yellow hair on his head rises upward. He is entwined with snakes. With his two right hands, he holds a white staff and a drum. With his two left hands, he shows worship and forms the mudra of a scorpion together with a noose. He possesses a tiger skin skirt. His left leg is straightened. His fangs are bared in his mouth. He possesses a garland of sunlight. He is adorned with the diadem of Amitabha. Meditate thus.
     Recite the mantra:
    oṁ mahābala svāhā
    Thus concludes the practice of Mahabala.
