Translation. 



Hail? O God Vajrabhairava ! I invoke thee, may you receive this offering, may 

 all my enemies be destroyed, forgive me, bless me ! O Destroyer of Death, may my 

 foes perish ! O Thunder-wielder ! may all my obstacles be removed ! Obeisance to 

 all imps, goblins, ghosts, furies, spirits, lords of ghosts — immoveable and bright like 

 the thunder may you put an end to all my difficulties ! O Vajra, O Mahakala, Dombini, 

 Candali, Raksasi, Singali, stay here, sit here, protect me! O Vaisravana, receive this 

 offering ! 



All things that have proceeded from a cause, their cause the Tathagata has ex- 

 plained ; their cessation too has been explained by the great sage. 



Obeisance and offerings to the immoveable Vajra 



[Addressing Vajrabhairava — ] 



In ancient times you promised before Jina (Buddha) that you would protect his re- 

 ligion ; may you therefore uphold the doctrine and praise its dignity. Protect the 

 priesthood and shower blessings on all beings. May the practice oiyoga, (mystic medi- 

 tation) of which you are the custodian, succeed ! Blessings to all !
