vajra-gāndhārī-sādhana

The Practice of Vajragandhari

    I prostrate myself before the noble Vajragandhari!
     Vajragandhari is black in color, with six faces and twelve arms. Her brown hair is raised upward. Her left leg is extended. The fangs on her face are bared. Each face has three eyes. In her six right hands, she holds a vajra, a bell, a sword, a trident, an arrow, and a chakra, in that order. In her six left hands, she holds a khatvanga, an iron hook, a bow, an axe, a noose, and a scorpion mudra near her heart. The first face is black. The other faces are five colors: white, yellow, red, green, and blue. He sits on a seat made of multicolored lotus and the Sun. Mantra for recitation:
    oṁ hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ svāhā
    This concludes the Vajragandhari sadhana.
