Five great commentaries on Kurukulla that have arisen from Hevajra
I prostrate before the blessed Hevajra!
Due to the prompting of the supreme prana life force from the heart center, enter [prana] inside the supreme central channel and rise upward. Quickly emanating from the center of the moon on the top of the head and consistently rotating to the left side of the head, possessing a movement toward clarity. When emanating from the right ear, quickly place your hand on the arrow hole and meditate on Mahamudra.
Having done so, carry out the practice with the quick and special vajra, syllable-seed, king, essence, and the effulgence of red rays of light. Having done so, realize, as before, the enlargement of the arrow hole with the hand. By doing so, fully immerse yourself in the hole that perceives sounds.
Possessing the movement toward clarity in the nostril on the right side of the head, quickly entangle with the mind the syllable hrīḥ, which is in the middle of the lotus in the heart. Having bound it, throw out from there on the path what follows according to the sequence. Having done so, forcefully gather the deity together with the earth chakra that abide in the middle of the heart with steadiness. Seize as previously shown.
Having emitted from the arrow as previously shown, enter the left side of the lotus of the one doing the practice. Point upward and the Moon on the top of the head begins to gradually ooze out. Enter it, similar to the one shown earlier. The yogi that abides on the lotus-colored top [should] meditate with steadiness. Due to this, the appearance of the mother, that possesses victory due to the actions of falling [drops] due to passion, will be drunk. Thus bind the feet.
Beholding with clarity the place in the middle of the moon in the heart, when one holds the manifestations, by means of ablution with the flow of the numerous nectar of the rays of light, the poison of the manifestations is eliminated. The opening of the channel is filled with rays of light. And on the basis of this, the poisons are destroyed. In the place in the middle of the moon that possesses light, seize [everything] by means of such serpents. When you do so, you, O deity, destroy the poison with love. Such is the elimination of the poison of the serpent.
Possessing the aspect of a stable lamp, is presented at the top of the tongue due to the mind that contemplates with stability. If so, misunderstanding and peculiar errors are eliminated. In this way, wisdom will increase.
With clarity, the place of the mandala of the wind and the iron hook come in contact with the heart. Loop the rope around the waist. Travel naked and with hair loose. O goddess, seizing with the power of yoga the one who holds wealth, place your feet close [to each other]. Constantly adhere to the state of a servant. Entangle the aspects with the net of light that possesses the red aspect. Put your own feet close [to each other], spread your hair, emit the arrow of your hands. Having done so, seize the left wind-prana and entangle. Enter inside the lotus. Enter the lotus center at the navel. And with devotion, join your palms together. Perform from the top of the head the ablution with the blood that drips from the lotus of sattva. If the yogi meditates in this way, he will also gather and subdue the power of the deity. Such is the dissolution with power.
