caṇḍa-mahā-roṣaṇa-sādhana

Chandamaharoshana practice

    I prostrate before Chandamaharoshana!
    Due to the rituals enunciated earlier, meditate here on emptiness. Having done so, then [visualize that from it arises] a white lotus. It bears the black syllable hūṁ in the Sun. When completely transformed, [it becomes] the Blessed Chandamaharoshana, like a linen flower. Unshaken by others, with one countenance and two hands. Looks askew, fangs clenched. With great intolerable countenance. Possesses the adornment of a jeweled tiara. Fangs bite the lower lip. Adorned with a garland of heads. Both eyes are red. The right hand holds a sword, the left hand being at the heart [makes the mudra] scorpion, [holding] a harness. Shoulder strap of white snake. Possesses a skirt made of tiger skin. Adorned with ornaments of various jewels. The left foot is in contact with the ground. The right leg is slightly raised. Fully visualize as yourself possessing a garland of rays of sunlight.
    Performing preliminary meditation on samayasattva and jnyanasattva, visualize Akshobhya as the adornment of the crown of the head.
    Then [follow] the mantra for recitation:
    oṁ caṇḍa mahā roṣaṇa hūṁ phaṭ
    This is how the practice of Chandamaharoshana is completed.
    Translated by Lama Dhondup Dorje Tulku.
