焰鬘得迦必隷覩得羯吒曼拏羅成就儀軌分第二
Chapter 2: The Ritual Procedure for Accomplishing the Yamāntaka Maṇḍala
復次最上曼拏羅儀軌，能於三界作大怖畏，能施所求一切滿願，此名必隷覩得羯吒曼拏羅成就法。持明行人先須揀擇所樂之地，或大樹之下或尸陀林中，或空舍內或四衢道路之傍，或於山間或二塔中間，或園林內或山頂上，或河岸海岸或牛欄內，或鬪戰之地或大自在天祠，及諸寂靜之處，隨自意樂，當建曼拏羅。復須依法潔淨，於彼地內所有荊棘瓦石砂礫骨髮橛木等不潔之物，悉皆除去，然後以五藥淨水合瞿摩夷塗曼拏羅地。時持明者經宿沐浴，淨持齋戒志意專心，誦此大明作自擁護。復次以兜羅綿或麻，合三股線絣四方曼拏羅。先從東方起首，四方四隅次第依法。如是絣已，用屍灰粉於曼拏羅四方四隅作於四門，唯開南門餘三常閉。曼拏羅中心粉一蓮花。復於東北隅起首依法次第，以屍灰畫諸賢聖及寶杖印。於曼拏羅四門各畫一必隷多形，中間蓮花上畫第五必隷多形，以髑髏為裝嚴。如是曼拏羅中，一一依法悉令周足。復次曼拏羅有其八種：闊一肘曼拏羅為常供養儀，闊二肘曼拏羅為消災增益儀，闊三肘曼拏羅為發遣設咄嚕儀，闊四肘曼拏羅為敬愛句召儀，闊五肘曼拏羅為禳災除病儀，闊六肘曼拏羅為除魔及宿曜儀，闊七肘曼拏羅為句召諸天敬愛儀，闊八肘曼拏羅為一切所求成就儀。如是八肘已上作者，非依儀軌必不成就。持明者畫曼拏羅已，以滿鉢盛香水，滿鉢盛種種妙花，及沈香、旃檀香、安息香、酥燈、油燈，如是依法次第安置，必得成就。
Furthermore, the supreme mandala ritual can instill great awe throughout the three realms and fulfill all wishes and desires. This is called the "Mandala Accomplishment Method of the Terrifying One." The practitioner of the vidyā must first select a suitable location according to their preference—such as beneath a large tree, in a charnel ground, within an empty dwelling, beside a crossroads, in the mountains, between two stupas, within a garden or grove, atop a mountain peak, on a riverbank or seashore, inside a cattle pen, on a battlefield, at a temple of Maheshvara, or in any other tranquil place—and there establish the mandala.
Next, one must purify the site in accordance with the method: remove all impure objects from the area, such as thorns, tiles, stones, gravel, bones, hair, and wooden stakes. Then, cleanse the mandala ground with a mixture of five medicinal herbs, pure water, and cow dung. The practitioner should bathe the night before, maintain pure precepts and fasting, focus the mind with single-pointed concentration, and recite this great mantra for self-protection.
Furthermore, using silk-cotton or hemp, twist a three-ply cord to mark out the square mandala. Begin from the eastern side and proceed in proper sequence to the four directions and four corners. Once the cord is laid, use cremation ash powder to draw the four gates at the four directions and four corners of the mandala. Only the southern gate is to be left open; the other three remain closed. At the center of the mandala, powder a lotus flower. Then, starting from the northeast corner and following the method in sequence, draw all the sages and the treasure-scepter seal with cremation ash. At each of the four gates of the mandala, draw one form of the Terrifying One. On the central lotus, draw a fifth form of the Terrifying One, adorned with skulls. Thus, within the mandala, every detail should be completely and properly fulfilled according to the method.
Furthermore, there are eight types of mandalas: - A mandala one cubit wide is for regular offerings. - A mandala two cubits wide is for averting misfortune and increasing benefits. - A mandala three cubits wide is for dispelling hostile forces. - A mandala four cubits wide is for inspiring affection and summoning. - A mandala five cubits wide is for averting calamities and curing illnesses. - A mandala six cubits wide is for subduing demons and neutralizing planetary influences. - A mandala seven cubits wide is for summoning deities and inspiring their affection. - A mandala eight cubits wide is for accomplishing all desired aims.
If a mandala larger than eight cubits is made without following the proper method, it will certainly not succeed. After drawing the mandala, the practitioner should place a full bowl of perfumed water, a full bowl of various exquisite flowers, along with aloeswood, sandalwood, benzoin resin, butter lamps, and oil lamps—arranging them in proper sequence according to the method—and thus will surely attain accomplishment.
復次或作大惡曼拏羅法，持明者用涅哩嚩娑為燈，以酒肉魚及種種飲食當用出生。即行人作禮諸佛發菩提心，時持明者依法自畫曼拏羅內賢聖形像及標幟等。如不能畫，依法觀想曼拏羅蓮花之上有微妙字，化成必隷多得羯吒。復想曼拏羅四隅各一寶杖，四門各一必隷多，即誦必隷多大明。如是誦已，復想曼拏羅內八種標幟，其名曰賀悉多、波那尸囉、娑建馱、部惹羯、嚕吒親那、左哩、摩捺囉、設嚩摩攞。如是想已，誦此大明而作現前，然後請召焰鬘得迦大忿怒明王入自心中，身黑色大惡相，具大威德遍身熾焰，六面各有三目，目作赤黃色，頭髮及眉皆赤黃色。六足，足蹋必隷多。十二臂，右第一手作施願印，第二手執鉤，第三手執三叉，第四手執劍，第五手執寶杖，第六手執鉞斧；左第一手執髑髏，第二手執旗，第三手執都摩囕，第四手執羂索，第五手竪頭指，第六手執寶杖。用半乾半潤人頭為鬘飾，虎皮為衣。身大腹廣，面作種種忿怒相，惡色變動如海沸騰。現相不定，或作忿怒相、或作善相、或作大惡相、或作怖畏相、或開口出舌、或露現牙齒。如是依法粉畫，觀想亦然。如是想已，以香水獻閼伽及紅色花。於必隷多頂上，復用赤檀香花及花鬘獻焰鬘得迦明王頂上，即誦焰鬘得迦明王心大明。持明者觀想，此明王心大明入自心中，誦頭大明想在頭上，誦頂大明想在頂上，誦甲冑大明想為甲冑。如是觀想已，復誦香大明即獻香，然後於曼拏羅四方四隅各燃於燈供養，即以種種飲食及上妙香花獻焰鬘得迦忿怒明王。復以種種飲食出生，獻必隷多及一切鬼神等。復用滿鉢淨水滿鉢好香，安置曼拏羅外。然後依法令受法弟子沐浴潔淨已，即誦忿怒明王大明加持一花，令彼弟子以二手指執此一花，而復用帛覆於頭面，念三寶名。時阿闍梨引弟子入曼拏羅內令發誓願，即便拋花向曼拏羅中，與去面帛認本尊。阿闍梨與弟子說寶杖印及三寶祕密三昧印，即以香花水灌弟子頂，復以香花供養，所有忿怒明王心大明授與弟子。時弟子受大明已，頭面作禮，隨力布施供養阿闍梨，弟子所願之事必得成就。復用滿鉢香水安曼拏羅東邊，獻明王閼伽水。時阿闍梨即誦發送大明，發送焰鬘得迦大忿怒明王歸於本位。於曼拏羅獻閼伽水，如是依法常作，能得世間廣大無等之福。
Furthermore, when performing the Great Wicked Mandala ritual, the mantra holder uses Nīlīvasā as the lamp, and employs wine, meat, fish, and various foods for the offerings. The practitioner then pays homage to all Buddhas and awakens the mind of enlightenment. At this time, the mantra holder, following the method, draws within the mandala the forms of sages and their symbols. If unable to draw, one should visualize according to the method: upon the lotus within the mandala, there are subtle characters transforming into the *Bhrītaṅkaṭa*. Further visualize a jeweled staff at each of the four corners of the mandala, and a *bhrīta* at each of the four gates, then recite the *bhrīta* great mantra. After reciting thus, visualize within the mandala the eight symbols, namely: Hastā, Panaśira, Sakaṇḍa, Bujaka, Rūṭa Kinna, Jali, Manaṭra, and Śvamala. Having visualized thus, recite this great mantra to manifest them, then invite the Great Wrathful King Yamāntaka to enter one's own heart. His body is black, with a fierce appearance, possessing great majesty, surrounded by blazing flames. He has six faces, each with three eyes of reddish-yellow color. His hair and eyebrows are also reddish-yellow. He has six feet, each trampling a *bhrīta*. He has twelve arms: the first right hand bestows blessings, the second holds a hook, the third a trident, the fourth a sword, the fifth a jeweled staff, the sixth an axe; the first left hand holds a skull, the second a banner, the third a *dumaraṅ*, the fourth a lasso, the fifth raises the index finger, the sixth holds a jeweled staff. He wears a garland of half-dry, half-moist human heads and is clad in a tiger skin. His body is large with a broad belly, his face displays various wrathful expressions, fierce and shifting like a boiling sea. His appearance is not fixed: sometimes wrathful, sometimes benevolent, sometimes extremely fierce, sometimes terrifying, sometimes with mouth open and tongue out, sometimes revealing teeth. Thus, one draws with powder or visualizes accordingly. Having visualized thus, offer perfumed water as arghya and red flowers. Upon the head of the *bhrīta*, further offer red sandalwood flowers and garlands to the crown of Yamāntaka, then recite Yamāntaka's heart great mantra. The mantra holder visualizes this heart great mantra of the wrathful king entering his own heart, recites the head mantra while visualizing it upon the head, recites the crown mantra while visualizing it upon the crown, recites the armor mantra while visualizing it as armor. Having visualized thus, recite the incense mantra and offer incense, then light lamps at the four directions and four corners of the mandala as offerings. Offer various foods and exquisite incense and flowers to the Wrathful King Yamāntaka. Further offer various foods to the *bhrīta* and all spirits. Place a full bowl of pure water and a full bowl of fine incense outside the mandala. Then, following the method, have the disciple bathe and purify himself. Recite the wrathful king's great mantra to empower a flower, have the disciple hold this flower with two fingers, cover his head and face with cloth, and recite the names of the Three Jewels. The master then leads the disciple into the mandala, has him make vows, throws the flower into the mandala, removes the face cloth, and recognizes the deity. The master teaches the disciple the jeweled staff mudra and the secret samadhi mudra of the Three Jewels, then sprinkles perfumed water on the disciple's head, offers incense and flowers, and bestows upon the disciple the heart great mantra of the wrathful king. Having received the great mantra, the disciple bows with head and face to the ground, makes offerings to the master according to his ability, and whatever wishes the disciple holds will certainly be fulfilled. Further place a full bowl of perfumed water east of the mandala as an offering of arghya water to the wrathful king. The master then recites the dismissal mantra, sending the Great Wrathful King Yamāntaka back to his original abode. Offer arghya water within the mandala. By consistently practicing according to this method, one can attain immeasurable and supreme worldly blessings.
