And Vajrasattva spoke:
What I have uttered is the realization
Of the oceans of pure realms and victors,
The quintessence of the enlightened minds
Of all the Buddhas throughout the three times;
It contains the blessings of them all.
Behold, this quintessence of the teachers,
The enlightened victors of the three times,
Purges the ripening of the most heinous crimes,
Not to mention ordinary forms of vice,
And restores the vows of Secret Mantra.
Even those wracked by illness
Will surely be liberated from their suffering.
When contagious epidemics occur,
Visualize me clearly as the yidam deity,
Recite this essence, and you will remain unharmed.
When attacked with black magic and weapons,
Recite this essence and their course will be reversed.
When in pursuit of something and setting off on a path,
Recite this and you will surely be freed from the enemies you fear.
When terrorized by demons and harmed by evil spirits,
Recite this awareness and the demons will be expelled.
If some sentient being were to desire a son,
From this awareness he or she will surely get one.
Those disturbed, destitute and impoverished,
In reciting this essence will find riches.
One who gathers a retinue, in reciting this,
Will gather the three realms around him.
The four activities will be accomplished for sure.
I have uttered one hundred syllables
That purify all degeneration and obscuration
and restore all kinds of violation.
