It should be done with immovable meditation. Do not give any tantra. Do not even indicate the mantra. Do not give the meditation of the great Vajrabhairava, the buffalo-headed Vajrabhairava, to anyone. Do not speak it either. Do not differentiate the mantra. Do not display the painted image in front of anyone. Keep the thangka clear. Do not recite even a little of the perfect combination, recitation, and speech of this lineage to anyone else. If you recite it again, you will break the samaya, and the great Vajrabhairava, as well as the other yoginis and dakinis, will devour you. Therefore, the mantra holder should not give it to anyone. If the mantra holder gives it to someone else, that person and the disciple will break the samaya, and this world will become a great terror. There is no doubt that they will go to hell in the next world. Then give it to someone who has not broken the samaya, who has no discrimination, who has the conduct of a saint, who is a hero, who respects the lama, who is gentle, who definitely holds the teachings of the Tathagata, who hides the tantra, who is not angry, who has compassion, who is inclined to recitation and meditation, who is wary of ripening, and who has such qualities. He is a good disciple. He is extremely respectful to the sacred mandala of the great Vajrabhairava, his mind is filled with great compassion, he has no discrimination, and he thinks deeply about the profound discrimination. The lama gives the tantra of the great Vajrabhairava to such a disciple. The wheel of the great Vajrabhairava comes from a hundred thousand tantras. By reading the aspect of discrimination, this is the seventh chapter on the discrimination of practicing meditation in the tantra of the yoga of Manjushri's supreme Vajrabhairava. If the mantra holder gives it to someone else, that person and the disciple will undoubtedly go to hell. This world will become a great terror. In the next world, they will go to hell. The samaya will also be broken. It is after giving the near tantra. It is in some places. Accomplished. The discrimination of the great Vajrabhairava, the buffalo-headed one, accomplishing the attainment of siddhi. It comes from the great sacred site of Oddiyana, from the tantra of Manjushri. The great king of tantras.

那波吉祥金刚怖畏大尊名者。 殊胜上师，大坛城之阿阇黎吉祥拉里达瓦哲啰所出而造圆满。 愿以尽己所能翻译此殊胜上师之语的善根力，使正法兴盛，速得谒见本尊颜。 其后，班智达巴若恰仲与译师比丘金刚称亦曾校订并确定。 此续部之王，有祥觉竹、绒宗、饶译师、瓦日、纳措、吉觉、麦觉、库努珠，以及班智达萨曼达所译等，昔时盛传有八种译本。 后世，吉隆译师阿旺于卫藏各地寻觅，云见有前四种，第八种达玛杜达，拉擦波牟尼惹杂之译本，偈颂体及另一种未署译者之名者。 琼波亦见前三种译本、麦译本、玛宁却西译本及偈颂体，共六种译本。 饶译本中，前译本似有祥之译序与否两种情况，词句略有不同。 饶哇之旧注疏，似乎仅依我之无译序者而作解释。 麦译本亦似由译师琼波却尊于其译本上修改而成。 故玛宁巴与却尊之译本二者，未被包括于密咒之八种译本中，故总共有十一种不同译本是确定无疑的。 祥译本与绒宗译本中，密咒部分有散文体词句。 其他所见四种则为偈颂体。 大体而言，考察古本时，发现有其他译本附加饶之译序，或不同译本互相校对导致词句混杂，词句长短不一，注释混入正文等各种情况。 然参考汉藏关系之种种，并去除饶译本早期之一些错字，经审慎研究校对者为多罗那他。 因未见此之汉文版本，故仅依藏文校对，虽无法修改其他译本，然于比较不同译本及研究诸释义之义后，乃至词句之细微之处是否正确

That which is called the Great Glorious Vajrabhairava. The excellent Lama, the great mandala's Acharya, the glorious Lalitavajra, extracted and composed it completely. May whatever merit there is from translating this excellent Lama's words to the best of my ability, cause the teachings to flourish and quickly show the face of the deity. Later, the Pandit Bharo Chagdrum and the translator Bhikshu Dorje Drak also corrected and finalized it. This king of tantras has translations by Zhang Jokdru, Rongzom, Ra Lotsawa, Bari, Naktsö, Gyijo, Malgyo, Khu Nöndrup, and Pandit Samanta, and it was said in the past that there were eight translations. Later, the Kyidrong Lotsawa Ngawang searched throughout Ü and Tsang and said that he saw the first four, the eighth Darma Dudul, the translation of Lhatsäpo Muni Raja, the verse form, and another without a translation colophon. Khyungpo also saw the first three translations, the Mal translation, the Maning Chöshé translation, and the verse form, a total of six translations. In the Ra translation, the earlier translation seems to have both with and without the Zhang translation colophon, and the wording is slightly different. The old commentaries of Ra seem to emphasize only the one without my translation colophon. The Mal translation also seems to have been modified by the translator Khyungpo Chötsön on his translation. Therefore, the Maningpa and Chötsön translations are not included in the eight mantra translations, so there are definitely eleven different translations in general. In the Zhang translation and the Rongzom translation, the mantra part has prose sentences. The other four seen are in verse form. In general, when examining the old texts themselves, it seems that other translations have been given the Ra translation colophon, or that different translations have been proofread against each other, resulting in mixed wording, different lengths of sentences, and footnotes being lost in the text. However, after referring to the various Sino-Tibetan relations and removing some of the typos in the early Ra translation, the one who carefully researched and proofread it was Taranatha. Since I have not seen the Chinese version of this, I have only proofread the Tibetan version. Although I have not been able to modify other translations, after comparing the different translations and examining the meaning of the explanations, even the correctness of the nuances of the words

Grant your blessings! Lalita and other root and lineage lamas, please grant here all the abundance of samsara and nirvana! From the pure, unchanging great bliss dharmadhatu, the wisdom ocean, the heart of Manjushri the Hero, manifesting as the great terrifying form that destroys all demonic forces, may the Lord of the Wheel bring auspiciousness! Although not moving from the state of great bliss and immovability, yet for the sake of taming sentient beings of various inclinations, holding various emanations of hundreds of wisdom displays, may the Wheel-Turning Ones of the Five Families bring auspiciousness! The dancer who delights all the Buddhas, adorned with various illusions born of uncontaminated bliss, the chief of the goddesses who exquisitely adorn with captivating play, may the goddesses such as Rasikā bring auspiciousness! In all mandalas, all the deities of mantra, performing actions with summoning, abiding, binding, and delight, destroying all obstacles and granting all accomplishments, may the wrathful gatekeepers bring auspiciousness! The goddesses of desirable qualities such as form and sound, the aggregates, afflictions, and the sons of the Lord of Death, manifesting bodies to tame fierce actions, may the four skull-bearing protectors of bliss bring auspiciousness! The deities with faculties and diseases, demons, etc., manifesting in the form of the terrifying one to tame those with umbrellas, the very essence of the gathering of immeasurable Buddhas and their sons, may the assembly of forty-nine deities bring auspiciousness! The eight umbrella-frightening vajra zombies, the terminators, the body-holders, taming the enemies and obstructors of the ten directions, granting the supreme of the two accomplishments in practice, may those who dwell at the thresholds bring auspiciousness! Holding the habits of the sixteen transmigrations to the very end, in the form of the sixteen great bliss wisdom mother goddesses, possessing the power to accomplish beginningless actions, may the assembly of messenger attendants bring auspiciousness! Adorned with the nature of bodhi, directions, and dharmata, dwelling in the center of the vajra ground and lotus, establishing a great charnel ground to liberate from samsara, may the immeasurable palace of wisdom bring auspiciousness! The tent of the vajra ground of emptiness and wisdom, with a fence and wheel of blazing flames, with the protective wheel that destroys all obstacles, may the auspiciousness that pervades the benefit and happiness of the three realms prevail! Thus, these are the verses of auspiciousness for the mandala of the glorious Vajrabhairava, requested by Sakya ruler Zhonnu Kunga Sonam Gyaltsen.
