The practice of the noble goddess Marichi

    I prostrate myself before the noble Marichi!
    The sage, fully [performs] meditation on great mercy, crossing his legs like a bodhisattva. When doing so, [in accordance with] the past, realizes meditation on the white syllable oṁ on the moon in the heart. Possesses the essence of Vairochana. Ubiquitously white like rays of light in water. [Appears] like a stupa in a circular enclosure. Ubiquitously adorned with blazing light. For the sake of realizing blending, perform successive service, etc. from front and back, right and left, from another [level] and from above, etc. [Appears] in diversity in the form of girls, etc., vessels, etc., in molded images, images, spiritual friends, volumes. From the water [appearing] in the moon in the heart of the syllable maṁ. Appear as a branch of the ashoka tree. Visualize the noble Marichi in this way.
    Imagine that everything is bound by cloth. Due to appearing, appear from the right nostril seven times and abide in the vicinity. By sewing up the eyes and mouths of those who possess poison, you form outer barriers. Also carry out the recitation of the mantra of leading. When [the mantra and breath] enter the heart, passing through the left nostril, you become an [ashoka tree]. Act in perfection, linking the intermediate [directions and periods of time].
    This is how the practice of Marichi, composed by Acharya Ashoka Shri, is completed.
