又,应依止金刚种姓上师。为无边众生之义利故。我受持密咒誓言。应如实受持。修持殊胜菩提心。令如是说三遍。此后宣说佛法:我等导师圆满正等觉佛陀,为应合所化众生之意乐,宣说了无量法门。其中,从恶趣中决定解脱的天人。从轮回中决定解脱的小菩提声闻,中等独觉。从二边中决定解脱的大菩提菩萨乘。如是四种决定解脱之乘中。此处果乘密咒之乘尤为殊胜。如《三类灯》中所说:意义虽一亦不愚昧,方便众多无有艰难,依仗利根之士,密咒之乘尤为殊胜。其义为,因果二大乘,为利有情欲求无上菩提虽一,然以四种差别密咒殊胜。于天神密咒等方便之分不愚昧。且亦与根器之次第相应,以无量续部之门方便众多。且不需长时故无有艰难。彼亦是为密咒之乘真实所化之利根者而宣说之故。不仅如此,于无数俱胝劫中,先前所造诸罪业,仅以得见如是坛城,彼等一切皆当灭尽。何况恒常修持密咒行,安住于正道者更无须赘言。若念诵救护之密咒,则将成就无上果位。如是仅以见有相之坛城,亦能清净多劫之业,何况入于此安乐且迅速之乘,而能修持者,当生起是为获得最胜之喜悦。此后宣说克里亚之十三条誓言,请谛听。从今以后汝等,于佛法僧,及明咒密咒之众,应生起极大之信心。恒常于大印,尤应生起信乐。于具誓者与道友,及上师亦应恭敬。

Again, one should rely on a Vajra lineage guru. For the sake of limitless sentient beings. I take the secret mantra vows. I shall hold them correctly. I shall accomplish the supreme mind of enlightenment. Have them say this three times. Then, the Dharma is explained as follows: Our teacher, the perfectly complete Buddha, in accordance with the thoughts of those to be trained, taught limitless gates of vehicles. Among them, gods and humans who are certain to be liberated from the lower realms. The lesser enlightenment of the Hearers, who are certain to be liberated from samsara, the middling Solitary Realizers. The great enlightenment of the Bodhisattvas, who are certain to be liberated from both extremes. Thus, among the four vehicles of definite liberation. Here, the vehicle of the resultant mantra is particularly superior. As stated in the "Three Lights": Although the meaning is one, there is no confusion, there are many methods without difficulty, and relying on the sharp faculties, the mantra vehicle is particularly superior. Its meaning is that although the two great vehicles of cause and effect are one in desiring unsurpassed enlightenment for the benefit of sentient beings, the mantra is superior due to four distinctions. There is no confusion regarding the aspects of methods such as deity mantras. Moreover, in accordance with the order of faculties, there are many methods through the limitless gates of the tantras. Moreover, it does not take a long time, so there is no difficulty. That itself was spoken with the sharp-witted disciples of the actual mantra vehicle in mind. Moreover, in countless millions of eons, whatever sins were previously committed, by merely seeing such a mandala, all of them will be exhausted. What need is there to mention those who constantly practice mantra conduct and abide in the proper way? If one recites the protective secret mantra, one will attain the unsurpassed state. Thus, merely seeing a mandala with signs will purify the karma of many eons, so having entered this easy and swift vehicle, and being able to practice, generate a special joy, thinking that you have attained the supreme attainment. Then, the thirteen vows of Kriya are proclaimed, so listen well. From today onwards, all of you should have great and steadfast faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and in the assemblies of knowledge mantras and secret mantras. Always in the great mudra, you should have particular devotion. You should also respect those with vows, friends, and the guru.

对所有佛陀都应虔诚信仰。 在适当的时候进行供养。 不要崇拜其他导师的教义。 经常供养突然来访的客人。 对所有众生怀有慈爱之心。 将极度的坚定置于近处。 对于喜欢乘法的人们来说, 要努力积累功德。 通过努力念诵, 要勤奋地修行密咒。 密咒续部中所教导的, 誓言也应遵守。 对于没有誓言的人, 不要给予咒语和手印。 要好好守护密咒续部, 我也要证悟它。 如此宣告。像这样,为了劝诫认真守护誓言和戒律,灌输誓言之水: 这是你的地狱之水。 如果违背誓言,它会焚烧你。 如果守护誓言,成就将是, 通过这金刚甘露之水来实现。
