Māḥ Ruru Bhyoḥ, holding prayer beads. A stream of blood flows down, dripping. When the stream of blood flows down, The body of Machig Lhamo moves. When Machig Lhamo moves, Riding a mule, a three-legged animal. Green jade ornaments shine brightly. Golden reins gleam. Purple-brown golden saddle shines. Silk garments flutter. Silk collars are layered. Black snakes meander up and down. A large silver mirror radiates light. On the right ear of the mule, A black silk ribbon flutters. On the left ear of the mule, A black silk tassel flutters. The body of Machig Lhamo moves. The sound of the bell echoes three times in the sky, Subduing the gods above.

如法修持具誓护法,并发号施令。 莫违背根本传承的具德上师之教言与誓言,请享用以誓言物庄严之朵玛。 莫给与憎恨我之仇敌留下岁月时日,莫拖延于绳索与陷阱,莫于来世种下时机。 莫于虚空立界限,莫于业之成熟开孔,即刻穷尽时之边际! 收缩寿命之行! 摧毁色蕴之聚! 斩断生命之根! 熄灭心之明灯! 分离身心之结合! 解脱五蕴之蕴聚! 损毁寿命福德权势! 夺走光彩光泽受用! 分离守护之神! 摧毁主仆星宿眷属! 将灰烬化为尘土! 祈愿令我等修行者之教法兴盛增长,且无有障碍! 护法之命钉小事业终结。 愿吉祥! 般若狮子所著。

Having properly accomplished the oath-bound goddess and issued commands, without transgressing the commands and vows of the glorious and precious root and lineage lamas, please accept this torma adorned with samaya substances. Do not leave years and months for this enemy who hates me, do not delay with snares and traps, do not plant a time for the next life. Do not establish limits in empty space. Do not make holes in the ripening of karma, but immediately exhaust the limits of time! Shrink the activities of life! Destroy the aggregate of form! Cut off the root of life! Extinguish the lamp of the mind! Separate the union of body and mind! Liberate the aggregate of the five aggregates! Destroy life, merit, and power! Plunder splendor, radiance, and enjoyment! Separate the protecting deities! Destroy the master-servant constellation retinue! Turn ashes into dust! May you cause the teachings of us practitioners to flourish and increase, and may there be no obstacles! The activity of the goddess's life-nail is completed. May it be auspicious!
