ekajaṭī-sādhanaṁ

Ekajati practice

    I prostrate myself before the noble Ekajati!
    oṁ āḥ hūṁ oṁ vajra yoginī pra tīccha maṁ baliṁ hrīṁ hūṁ ha ha ha ha he he haṁ haḥ phaṭ ma ma śāntiṁ kuru svāhā
    oṁ āḥ ra lī haṁ
    And so forth. Say like this.
    Then I will make a full explanation of the two-handed Ekajati practice. The goddess with one scythe surging upwards holds a cutting dagger and a kapala. She is also similar to the goddess with four arms, which is explained by me, a human being, also as comprehension.  She holds on the right an arrow and a sword. On the left she holds a bow and a kapala. Similarly, I will also explain the eight-armed one according to the sequence. In the right holds a sword, an arrow, a vajra and a severing dagger. Equally, in the left holds utpala, bow, axe, and kapala. The mother possesses a body of black color. Ubiquitously covered with a skirt of tiger skin. With one countenance and three gashes. A brown scythe surging upward. Ubiquitously writhing, with a hanging belly. Standing with the left [leg] extended. With wrathful countenance and fangs. Possesses descending garlands of heads. The great intimidating one stands on a corpse. Adorned with Akshobhya on the top of her head. Young and youthful, perfect. Emits a strong and intolerable laughter.
    Arises from the syllable-seed ṭāṁ. Immediately thereafter [appears as] possessing the formation of conditions. Present the Sun over the multicolored lotus with special diligence. [Say:]
    hrīṁ trīṁ hūṁ phaṭ
    The sage presents a garland of bones in place of the scythe. Through the sequence that has been appropriately figured earlier, realize the true recitation of the supreme mantra.
    When the power of meditation becomes perfect, yoga will appear in great euphony. Through the repetition of the number of one hundred thousand times, attain conformity to Manjushri.
    May through the compilation of Tara practice I realize the attainment of all spiritual merit! May all animals and beings without exception become like Tara through it!
    This is how the practice of Ekajati is completed.
