vajra-gandharī-sādhana

Vajragandhara practice

    I prostrate before Vajra-gandhari!
    Vajra-gandhari is black in color, with six faces and twelve arms. The brown hair on his head rises upwards. Possesses legs, the left of which is extended. Fangs are bared on the faces. There are three eyes on each countenance. In the six right hands, according to order, are vajra, bell, sword, trident, arrow, and subtle chakra. In the six left hands are the rod-khvatanga, iron hook, bow, axe, harness, and at the heart [composes the mudra] of the scorpion. The other five faces have five colors. [Located] on a seat of multicolored lotus and the Sun. This is also the dharani:
    namo ratna trayāya namaḥ caṇḍa vajrapāṇaye mahā yakṣa senāpataye namo bhagavatī mahā vajra gandhari ane kaśata sahasra pra jvalita dīpa tihe jayai ugra bhīma bhaya nakayai yogīnīye bhiṣma bhagi niyai dvadaśa bhujayai bhi kīrṇakai śeyai aṇeka rūpa vi vidhave sadha riṇeye e hye hi bhagavatī mahā gandhari trāyanā ratna nāṁ satyana a kaḍḍhya akaḍḍhya bala devā dika ye canaye samaye na tiṣṭha nati tānā vartayi ṣyāmi sīghraṁ gṛihṇa gṛihṇa oṁ ala ala hulu hulu mulu mulu culu culu dhama dhama raṅga raṅga raṅgāpaya raṅgāpaya pūraya pūraya āviśa āviśa bhagavatī mahā vajra gandhari siddha caṇḍa vajrapāṇi rājñā payati hrīḥ ha haḥ hūṁ phaṭ svāhā
    Through the accumulation of these deeds - a variety of multiple aspects are formed.
    This is how the practice of Vajargandhari is completed. Translated and verified by Pandita Amoghavajra and the translator from Kham, monk Bari.
