The first part has two aspects: identifying the root mandala, and explaining how the thirty-six empowerments actually revealed in the tantra are conferred. The first aspect is: there are two types of common and uncommon root or special mandalas, or there are two types called common and uncommon great assembly mandalas. How is it understood? The uncommon mandala is: the wrathful mandala called "Cemetery Secret Supreme Mandala" mentioned in the chapter on the practice method of the great assembly of the root tantra, and the peaceful mandala mentioned in the explanatory tantra, the Terrifying Thunderbolt, these two are combined. Since they are divided into separate branch mandalas, in the case of the complete ritual, it is the mandala of the accomplishment empowerment fame-water, so it is called the uncommon root or special mandala. As it is said in the root tantra: "The Cemetery Secret Supreme Mandala, this is extensively explained. Mandala, of all mandalas, this great root mandala, for the sake of liberating all samsara, should be explained to the yogi." Its commentary, the Extensive Explanation, says: "The Cemetery Secret, this mandala is uncommon among all mandalas, it is special, it is armored to receive teachings." "Mandala, of all mandalas," etc., refers to the Cemetery Secret Mandala, which is the basis of the entire outer and inner mandala. The common root mandala is: from the Vairochana Abhisambodhi Great Empowerment King Tantra, taking out the six hidden empowerment branches, and from the guiding ritual mentioned in the Kalpa Dum Bura Tantra, the peaceful and wrathful mandala of the great, medium, and small three rituals, and the wrathful mandala mentioned in the ninth chapter of the Hevajra Tantra, and the peaceful mandala mentioned in the Terrifying Thunderbolt, the peaceful and wrathful mandala combining these two, refers to the one mandala with the same intention. That is, in the Hidden Empowerment, it is said: on the first level, place forty-two peaceful deities, in the middle, place seventy-eight wrathful deities, and at the bottom, place dakinis, messengers, gings, matris, and sisters. In the opposing crescent moon, reside the vidyadhara masters of the three times, directions, corners, above and below, and

将坛城的根本橛神的四十二尊神安立。如是仅是安立神祇的方式,而未明示门的重叠次第。于《黑汝嘎集续》中,处所母殿安立于第一层。使者的三层殿合为一层,说是重叠八门,然于根本续部中,于“九门完全明亮之处”的句子的释文中说,为了九乘达到究竟,故宫殿次第为九门是根本之义。如是按照根本坛城不共的九门次第明显宣说的那样,以其威力,对于共同的根本坛城也安立重叠九门的古老仪轨等,不仅如此,特别是于广开灌顶义中说,九重坛城是吉祥手印的次第。如是于内灌顶自己的第七手印形象灌顶之时所说的那样,此共同的根本坛城也作九重,安立神祇的次第也是,处所母殿安立于鼓包和四角,此后按照《黑汝嘎集续》中所说的九重门次第安立,是上师传承的清净口诀,如是杰喇嘛所造的修法中,于隐蔽的灌顶处,为了使者的殿而安立母护等,以及其他古老仪轨中,将大乐坛城安立于事业迅速的坛城中等现象也有,然此处所安立的如《黑汝嘎集续》第九品中所说的那样,是按照上师前辈们的实践传承而来,然而,使者在此出现三层殿,于《黑汝嘎集续》中合为一层,于第一层安立处所母殿,仅是出现重叠八门这一点有所差别。如是所说的那样,总而言之,此时此坛城是内灌顶生起次第的坛城,因此,与玛哈坛城成为共同,对于仅仅是信解的弟子,名闻和秘密的二水也可灌于此坛城,因此也成为根本的坛城之故,故安立共同的根本坛城之名。二是于彼续部中所说的真实宣说的三十六灌顶的安立方式,有三,所灌的三十六灌顶于续部中所说的安立方式,彼根本

The forty-two deities of the root purva of the mandala are established. Thus, only the method of establishing the deities is mentioned, and the order of stacking the doors is not clearly shown. In the Heruka Samputa, the place mother hall is placed on the first level. Although the three messenger halls are combined into one and it is said that eight doors are stacked, in the root tantra, in the commentary on the phrase "In the place where the nine doors are completely clear," it says that in order for the nine vehicles to reach the ultimate, the palace with nine doors in order is the fundamental meaning. As such, according to the clear explanation of the uncommon nine-door order of the root mandala, by its power, there are also ancient rituals for establishing the common root mandala with nine stacked doors. Moreover, in particular, in the Extensive Explanation of Empowerment Meaning, it says, "The nine-layered mandala is the order of the glorious mudra." As it is said in the context of the seventh mudra image empowerment of the inner empowerment itself, this common root mandala is also made into nine layers, and the order of establishing the deities is also that the place mother hall is established in the bulge and the four corners. Thereafter, according to the order of the nine-layered doors mentioned in the Heruka Samputa, it is established as the pure oral instruction of the lineage of lamas. As such, in the sadhana composed by Je Lama, in the hidden empowerment place, mother protectors etc. are established for the messenger's hall, and in other ancient rituals, the great bliss mandala is established within the swift activity mandala, etc. However, what is established here, as explained in the ninth chapter of the Heruka Samputa, is according to the practice lineage of the previous lamas. However, the messenger appears here in three halls, which are combined into one in the Heruka Samputa, and the place mother hall is established on the first level, with the only difference being the appearance of eight stacked doors. As it is said, in short, at this time, this mandala is the inner empowerment generation stage mandala. Therefore, it becomes common with the Maha Mandala. For disciples who only have faith and understanding, the two waters of fame and secrecy can also be poured into this mandala. Therefore, it also becomes the root mandala, hence the name "common root mandala" is established. Secondly, there are three ways to explain how the thirty-six empowerments actually taught in that tantra are established: the way the thirty-six empowerments to be conferred are explained in the tantra, that root
