The Practice of Maha-Shitavati


     Maha-Shitavati has one face and four arms. Her body is red. Her two right hands hold a rosary and [form the mudra of] bestowing the supreme gift. Her two left hands hold a vajra and a *tom* (club) together with an iron hook, positioned at the heart. She arises from the seed syllable jaṁ. Amitabha adorns her head. She sits in a half-lotus posture. She is adorned with various ornaments. She rests upon a sun seat and radiates rays of light.
    Such is the practice of the noble Maha-Shitavati.
    Translated by Tsultrim Gyaltsen based on the [teachings] of Abhaya.
    Translated by Lama Dondrub Dorje Tulku.
