As we are about to enter the ritual of authentic accomplishment, I request the assembly of the ten direction protectors and other white-sided beings, who rejoice in the white side, to guard against obstacles, accomplish the four activities, and act as sacred companions for the bestowal of siddhis. Assembly of elemental beings who rejoice in the black side, do not remain in this place, go elsewhere! Recite these words, accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, and discard them outside.

Om Ah Rupa Vajra Hum. Similarly, sound, smell, taste, touch. Om Ah Dharma Dhatu Vajra Hum. Om Vajra Ghante Ranita, etc., bless the music three times. On the ground of the mandala, mix five types of cow dung, five types of nectar, and great blood and smear it. Whether it is nine or thirteen deities, arrange offerings of good incense in accordance with the dwelling place of the deities. In addition, make a small dot at each place of the hand emblems. Recite the three syllables for all of them. Starting from taking refuge, meditate on the complete self-generation until the mandala is gathered. Here, except for the ground ritual, in other cases, if you do not do the thirteen front generations, it is okay to do only the self-generation of the main deity, that is, the choice is between the main deity and the thirteen deities. Even if you do not meditate on the thirteen deities, you must gather them into the main deity and perform the front generation. Also, recite a lot. Then, purify the front generation. From the state of emptiness, a triangular dharma source arises, white on the outside, saying: Hum Hum Hum Phat Svaha. In the center of that, from Bhrum, a pure realm arises, completely perfect in all characteristics. In the center of a great charnel ground that pervades all directions. From Yam, a wind mandala arises, on top of something like the color of a dove. In the center of a lotus with a thousand petals of various kinds. From Ram, on top of the sun mandala. From Hum, a black vajra with nine points arises, marked with Hum. From that, the Bhagavan glorious Vajrabhairava arises. The body color is like the clouds at the end of time, until it becomes an unbearable nature. Then, the assembly of hand emblems emanating from the body dwells outside. The inner order is, in the east, starting from the head, pierced with a bright wood. The outer order is, on the right of the east, a curved knife, a javelin, and a mallet; on the left, a water knife, a single-pointed vajra, and a hook. On the right of the south, a battle axe, an arrow, and a khatvanga; on the left, a club, a wheel, and a lasso. On the right of the west, a vajra, a bell, and a shield; on the left, a bow, a bell, and a wind banner. On the right of the north, a threatening finger, a three-pointed banner, and an elephant skin; on the left, a hammer, a spear, and a hearth. On the outer layer of that is
