The offerings made in the morning cannot be reused at noon or in the evening; fresh items must be provided each time. If the practitioner is unable to manage this, they are permitted to redeem the offerings by paying their value, and then present them again during the second and third periods. This applies to all three daily offerings, continuing until the day when the mandala practice achieves its intended result, at which point the full value of all the offerings must be promptly paid. When making the offering, form the Banner Mudra and recite the Banner Mantra:

Ratna-prabha-nātha-deva-svayaṁ-kāra-satva-jvalita-deva-satva-bhujaṁka-svāhā.

Furthermore, the rules for offering clothing are as follows: Prepare two pairs of white garments made from insect-free cloth. On the garments, paint a pagoda adorned with gold and colors, and say these words: "I now offer these garments." Then, with both hands, press the thumbs against the index fingers to form rings, hook the two rings together, and spread the remaining fingers apart to form the clothing offering mudra. Recite the clothing offering mantra seven times. The mantra is:

Make a white whisk, properly decorate and paint the whisk handle, empower it with the whisk mantra seven times, then place it in the northeast direction for the Yaksa King Nangpo, in the north for Vaisravana, in the northwest for Maha Nangpo, then for the powerful Yaksa King Aluni (two syllables), then for Padma Hunu Hunu Ka, and for Susina Zandavanzha, Gumutaka, Rakta, and Maha Nandara, then for the Yaksi Vibhuraja—this Yaksi is supremely dignified. Then place Vibhuranja Zandalin (two syllables, long) Sumahi Mahi Gavanja (long) Suruja (long) Naja (long) Padma (two syllables) Sara (long) Subhruva (two syllables) Vija, the Yaksi Mahamayi Sukhisi Ja, Vanamala (long) Ja, Brishvari (two syllables) Naruma (two syllables) Marika Ja, Sarva (two syllables) Kama (long) Pala Prana (two syllables, long) and Manuja (long) Vaka Marubi, Suruta (two syllables) Va (long) Jiya (two syllables) Sunarisha (two syllables) Ni, Maha (long) Gara (two syllables, long) Jiti (long) Vikiyata (two syllables, long), etc., twenty or one hundred, arranged in order in the outer directions.

Before the sages such as Indra, create a vajra net, wheel, spear, staff, conch, noose, banner, trident, and at the eastern gate place a vajra-axe, flames, and so on, up to over a hundred kinds. With Malati flowers and Marika flowers, wrap five-colored powders, offer incense, burn aloeswood, recite the heart mantra to invite the Treasure Deities and all sages, recite the root mantra to invite the Yaksis. Then offer flower garlands, Malati flowers, exquisite lotus flowers, Utpala flowers, Kanaka flowers, Kuruvaka flowers, and Kinshuka flowers, offering to all sages in order.

Perform homa with lac, benzoin, camphor, and sandalwood together. Before the Treasure Sages, place various flowers and various offerings.

The desired matters will definitely be accomplished, and you will obtain the Treasure Deities and great wealth.

This is the mandala method and the mantras to be recited:
