Th Practice of Single Nairatmya

    I prostrate myself before Nayratmya!
    Through the rituals shown earlier, meditate on emptiness. After this, the black syllable aṁ appears on the disk of the moon. From it, a cutting dagger appears along with the syllable-seed. Due to radiation and so forth, which are carried out beforehand, it becomes perfect. Having become so, [becomes a goddess] that sits in a dancing posture with half-crossed legs on the moon on the heart of a corpse. Nayaratmya is blue in color, with one face. The brown hair is surging upwards. Akshobhya adorns the top of the head. Fangs clenched, tongue swiveling. On the right holds a severing dagger. On the left holds a kapala and a khwatanga rod. Three eyes are round and red. Adorned with five chakras. On the head, neck and heart are the syllables oṁ āḥ hūṁ. The Moon in the heart is the Moon in the middle of the cut-off knife, bearing the syllable aṁ, which is surrounded by a mantra for recitation:
    oṁ a ā i ī u ū ṛi ṛī ḷi ḷī e ai o au aṁ svāhā
    Say it like this.
    Thus concludes the practice of Nairatmya.
