vajra-śṛiṅkhalā-sādhana

Vajra-shrinkhala practice

    I prostrate before Vajra-shrinkhala!
    [Performing] the rituals shown earlier, [visualize] in your own heart on the moon disk the green syllable hūṁ. When it becomes definitely perfect, [appears] Vajra-shrinkhala, with three faces and six arms. The right face and the opposite face are blue and white. On each countenance are three eyes. In his three right hands he holds a vajr, a vajra chain of iron and an arrow. In the three left bows [makes the mudra] of a scorpion, holds a harness and a bow. Being of yellow-green color, [possesses] a countenance that smiles slightly. Adorned with all ornaments. Visualize on the top of your head the essence that subdues living beings possessing maliciousness.
    When you have visualized it, entangle it with wisdom. To do this, intertwine the fingers of both hands into a fist. Having done so, entwine the little fingers and index fingers in the form of an iron chain. This is the Vajra-shrinkhala mudra.
    Then perform the recitation:
    oṁ vajra śṛiṅkhale hūṁ phaṭ svāhā
    Thus concludes the sadhana of Vajra-shrinkhala.
    Pandita Amoghavajra and the translator from Kham, monk Bari, translated it.
