śrī-mahākāla-sādhanaṁ
The practice of the glorious Mahakala
I prostrate myself before the glorious Mahakala!
Thus, by means of the sequence that was proclaimed earlier, [realize] meditation on emptiness. Then [appear] on the multicolored lotus and the Sun, the black syllable hūṁ. When he becomes perfect, [transforms] into the glorious noble Mahākāla. He has two arms, one face, and a body of black color. Possesses three eyes with strong flames. With his right and left hands he holds a severing dagger and a kapala. The body is adorned with a necklace of human heads. The orange hair is surging upwards. With bared fangs it shows intimidation. The entire body is adorned with snake jewelry. The body is small in size. Blood drips from its mouth. Momentarily appear as this entity. Appearing, perform the recitation of the mantra. This is the mantra for him:
oṁ mahākāla hūṁ phaṭ svāhā
Offer Mahakala incense of poison, blood, garlic and mustard seeds. Having offered, fulfill the offering to Mahakala with the nectar of the eel hook of five ointments, beans, meat, jumbu [Tib. 'dzum bu], tika [Tib. tika], wine, and flowers. [Use] this torma mantra:
oṁ mahākālāya śā sana upa kāri ṇaṁ e ṣā paści ma ka lo a yaṁ idaṁ ratna trayā pa kāri ṇaṁ ya di prati jñāṁ smara sita dā idaṁ duṣṭa kha kha khāhi khāhi mara mara gṛihṇa gṛihṇa bandha bandha hana hana daha daha paca paca dīna mekena māraya hūṁ hūṁ phaṭ phaṭ
Make the three hot ones into the shape of the one for whom the practice is being done. Fill the body with thorns. Using poison and black mustard, smear according to the ritual. Having done so, burn in the fire. [If you do] this together with any names, you will instantly see the like of that. Those who are constantly angry and furious towards the acharya, harming the Three Jewels, and the boundless living beings - will be eaten by the Mahakala. The flesh on their body will be cut off. In the same way their blood will be drunk. By making a circle on the top of the head, manifest the widest devotion and then perform recitation.
This is how the practice of the glorious Mahakala is completed.
Translated by Lama Karma Paljor (O.E. Filippov).
