bhṛikuṭī-sādhana
The Practice of Bhriukti, Who Frowns
I prostrate myself before the noble Bhriukti!
[Performing] here the rituals that were proclaimed earlier, [imagine that from] the yellow syllable bhṛi appears [a deity] with a yellow body, one face, three eyes, and four arms, young and youthful. In the right hands [it forms a mudra] of supreme giving and holds a rosary for counting. In the left hands it holds a staff with a trident and a bowl for alms. Sealed by Amitabha. Imagine the Blessed One as sitting on a seat of lotus and moon.
After visualizing, make the mudra. Extend both hands. Press your thumbs on the nails of your little fingers.
Then recite the mantra:
oṁ bhṛikutī svāhā
This concludes the practice of Bhrikuti.

bhṛikuṭī-sādhana
The practice of Bhriruti, who frowns
I prostrate myself before the noble Bhrikuti!
[Performing] the rituals that were proclaimed earlier, here in my own heart, in the middle of the moon, [imagine] as a seed the fourth of the sixth [row], the eighth of the first. [When composed] it is pressed down with the symbol of perfect emptiness. The head is adorned with half of the moon.
From it emerges Bhrikuti with a yellow body and four arms. Peaceful, she possesses a diadem made of braids. The right arms [form the mudra] of supreme giving and hold prayer beads for counting. The left hands hold a staff and a bowl for water. Meditate on what is on the seat of the lotus and the moon.
Then compose the mudra. Extend both hands and press your thumbs on your little fingers. The remaining [fingers] appear as vajra. This is the mudra of Bhrikuti.
Later, recite the mantra:
oṁ bhṛiṁ svāhā
This concludes the practice of Bhrikuti.

kurukullā-vaśya-upadeśa
Oral Instructions on Submission by Kurukulla
I prostrate myself before Kurukulla!
Meditate on yourself as Kurukulla.
After immersing yourself in the lake born from Tara, meditate on intoxication through desire for the one for whom the practice is being performed. Imagine that after giving birth to the water of jnanasattva, red is captured on his crown. If you meditate three times between sessions for seven days, he will definitely fall.
Thus ends the oral instructions on the realization of submission to Kurukulla.

kurukullā-sādhana
The Practice of Kurukulla
I prostrate myself before [Kurukulla], the mother who creates knowledge!
First, sit completely on a firm seat. By meditating on the body of Kurukulla, you will begin to subjugate all living beings. In your own heart is the disc of the Sun. On it is the red syllable tāṁ. From it emerge five [types] of rays of light and make actual offerings to the Tathāgatas. Having done so, with the help of verses such as “I take refuge in the Three Jewels!” etc., perform repentance for harmful deeds, etc. Having done so, meditate fully on emptiness. Then [imagine] a red utpala. Above it is the disc of the Sun. Above it is the red syllable tāṁ. When all this is perfect, [appears] the holy Kurukulla, with a red body and four arms. Her right hands hold an arrow and [form] the mudra of fearlessness. Her left hands hold a bow and an utpala. She sits cross-legged in the vajra posture. Meditate on yourself [in the image of the goddess], who is dressed [in clothes] with red sleeves.
Below, imagine Kamadeva together with his wife. Then, with meditation, recite:
oṁ kurukulle svāhā
This concludes the practice of the mother who forms knowledge, [Kurukulla].

ṣaḍ-bhuja-kurukullā-sādhana
The Practice of Six-Armed Kurukulla
I prostrate before Kurukulla!
First, the practitioner [should] sit on a good seat. With rays of light from the seed in one's own heart, [one should] invoke the Blessed Ones, the Enlightened Ones, and the bodhisattvas. [Having invited them,] make offerings, take refuge, and so forth.
Then imagine [the phenomena] as empty. When you bless with the mantra, the disc of the moon appears from the syllable aṁ. Imagine [on it] the syllable raṁ together with a garland of rays of light. When it is perfect, gaze upon the Blessed One, who performs the teachings, [as appearing from it]. She sits completely cross-legged in the vajra [pose] on a seat of an eight-petaled red lotus and the Sun. With six hands. The first two hands on the right and left [form] the mudra of the Conqueror of the Three Worlds. The second on the right and left hold an iron hook and a red utpala. The remaining two hands hold an arrow and a bow stretched from the top of the ear. Red clothes are thrown over her. The head is adorned with five Tathagatas.
Meditate perfectly on the red syllable raṁ on the disc of the moon on the stamens of the red utpala in the heart of the one for whom the practice is performed. [He] abides on the mandala of the wind. The iron hook touches his heart and captures it. Having captured it, it enters the heart, and the one for whom the practice is performed, by means of an arrow with a red utpala tip, is captured again and again. [Imagining this,] repeat the mantra. This is the mantra for this:
oṁ kurukulle hrīḥ <name>- let him submit to me! - hoḥ svāhā
Then, having subjugated, imagining the one for whom the practice is being performed, look at how he falls at your feet and urge him [to action]. In this way, anyone can subjugate even Indra.
Thus ends the practice of the six-armed one, who acts in this way.
